Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: dell-laptop: don't register platform::micmute if the related tokens don't exist.

From: Koba Ko <[email protected]>

During boot up, Error messge is issued,
"platform::micmute: Setting an LED's brightness failed (-19)",
but the device isn't presented.

Get the related tokens of SMBIOS, GLOBAL_MIC_MUTE_DISABLE/ENABLE.
If one of two tokens doesn't exist,
don't call led_classdev_register() for platform::micmute.
After that, you wouldn't see the platform::micmute in /sys/class/leds/,
and the error message wouldn't see in dmesg.

Thank you.
What you should or shouldn't have done:
- you need to use version in the patch (-v<n>, where <n> is a version)
- you need to write a changelog after cutter line '---' instead of
separate messages or so
- you need to avoid top postings like this very email you send
- you need to wait for a while (usually one day or so) to give a
change for people to look at it

Unless it's a pre-release platform, I think it's worth mentioning in commit
message what the hardware is.

If it's pre-release, then perhaps mention "pre-release vostro platform" here.
This is useful information in case in the future something in this driver must
change for a full class/line of systems.

As a nit, please declare variables on their own line and I don't like is_micmute_exist
as this is bad grammar.

Perhaps "micmute_exists" instead.

Also this variable can be a boolean type instead with it's usage.

OK, so this is released hardware in Inspiron.

I think this patch generally makes good sense for that case.

Koba,

1) Please resend patch as inline text to mailing list, not attachment.
2) Also you have a typographical error in your commit message, you should fix (messge misspelled)
3) You have a grammatical error in your commit message("isn't presented")
4) As you rev the patch, you can update in the title from [PATCH] to [PATCH v2] and so on.

Thanks,
