[PATCH 2/5] platform/x86: lg-laptop: Add support for native ACPI events
From: Armin Wolf
Date: Mon Jun 22 2026 - 15:41:44 EST
LG devices support two interfaces for receiving events:
- the WMI-based interface currently being used by the driver
- a ACPI-based interface similar to the WMI-based interface
Older devices use the WMI-based interface by default and need
to be manually switched into ACPI mode. Newer devices however
only support the ACPI-based interface, preventing the current
driver from receiving events on them.
Fix this by always using the native ACPI-based interface for
receiving events.
