+Subject: thinkpad-acpi: recognize latest V-Series using DMI_BIOS_VENDOR
+
+From: Manoj Iyer <manoj.iyer@canonical.com>
+
+commit a4f46bb9fa84642e356898ee44b670989622f8bb upstream.
+
+In the latest V-series bios DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION does not contain
+the string Lenovo or Thinkpad, but is set to the model number, this
+causes the thinkpad_acpi module to fail to load. Recognize laptop
+as Lenovo using DMI_BIOS_VENDOR instead, which is set to Lenovo.
+
+Test on V490u

+sudo modprobe thinkpad_acpi
+FATAL: Error inserting thinkpad_acpi (/lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.ko): No such device
+
+Test on B485
+=============
+This patch was also test in a B485 where the thinkpad_acpi module does not
+have any issues loading. But, I tested it to make sure this patch does not
+break on already functioning models of Lenovo products.
