Hello,
   I am affected by this bug since, a couple of years (same laptop here,
530U). I have personally experienced it on my laptop on multiple Linux
distributions (including Debian and Arch).

I perfectly understand your policies, but I do not really see the
rationale behind closing the bug with WONTFIX and asking a lot of people
to open a lot of new bugs to signal the very same thing.

For me, the bug is indeed solved by the juanmanuel's userspace program
(thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!) I've been running that program since it was
posted on this thread, and it works like a charm.

The bug is also clearly described upstream on the kernel Bugzilla, where
juanmanuel's solution is being turned into a kernel patch, so an
upstream fix is likely to be on the way.

I hope you'll find a way to put in evidence the relevant information,
especially when there will be 100 opened issues for this SINGLE problem
(or 100 issues immediately closed as duplicates???): this is clearly a
SINGLE bug with a SINGLE reference to a SINGLE upstream issue.

>From my side, I am *not* going to open another bug just to increase the
Internet entropy (and reduce the likelihood for someone searching about
the problem to find the workaround)...
