From 110ea1d833ad291272d52e0a40a06157a3d9ba17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Schremmer Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2019 13:48:33 +0200 Subject: platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Add ThinkPad PrivacyGuard This feature is found optionally in T480s, T490, T490s. The feature is called lcdshadow and visible via /proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow. The ACPI methods \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC.HKEY.{GSSS,SSSS,TSSS,CSSS} are available in these machines. They get, set, toggle or change the state apparently. The patch was tested on a 5.0 series kernel on a T480s.
