Bug Description
We are encountering issues, that when enabling some Dell laptops, the readings
from iio-poll-als are unstable, or could freeze on certain value. On these
systems they have ENV{IIO_
removing iio-poll-als makes reading stable.
This adds workaround to the affected Dell laptop models which may equip with
ALS.
[Impact]
* Only models matching the same device BIOS IDs are affected.
[Test Plan]
* Pick devices which BIOS IDs are listed in the patch, and test whether it's ambient light sensors are working properly without unexpected brightness flickers.
[Where problems could occur]
* Machines matching the same BIOS ID, either having ALS built-in or not, but attached ambient light sensors externally (for example, ColorHug ALS) might experience failures.
[Other Info]
