ACPI processor: introduce module parameter processor.ignore_tpc
Introduce module parameter processor.ignore_tpc. Some laptops are shipped with buggy _TPC, this module parameter is used to to disable the buggy support. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13259 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Tested-by: James Ettle <theholyettlz@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
