[PATCH] toshiba_acpi: Add a module parameter to disable hotkeys registration

Show all headers | View raw

Some laptop models have working hotkeys without the need of the driver
to activate them.

This patch adds a module parameter to tell the driver not to register
the hotkeys.

The new parameter is useful in DE less installations or where the DE
does not handle the hotkeys (see bug 99501).
