[alsa-devel] [PATCH] Revert "ALSA: hda - Add mute-LED mode control to Thinkpad"
This reverts commit 7290006d8c0900c56d8c58428134f02c35109d17.
Through the regression report, it was revealed that the tpacpi_led_set() call to thinkpad_acpi helper doesn't only toggle the mute LED but actually mutes the sound. This is contradiction to the expectation, and rather confuses user.
According to Henrique, it's not trivial to judge which TP model behaves "LED-only" and which model does whatever more intrusive, as Lenovo's implementations vary model by model. So, from the safety reason, we should revert the patch for now.

Are there any ThinkPad which known to support mute led through ACPI SSMS ?

The answer is "yes, but..."
There are known Thinkpads that do the audio mute together with LED. And judging the difference isn't trivial. It'd need a huge black/white list, which we want to avoid.

Hello,
what about adding option to "do not touch led" like if thinkpad_helper.c cannot resolve symbol from kernel? It would at least allow us to disable led when mute is ON (when thinkpad_acpi.ko module is loaded).
