Queued up for 3.12, but I've already applied your previous patch for the Asus
Zenbook, so I needed to rebase this one. Please check the bleeding-edge branch
of the linux-pm.git tree for the result.
Also next time you fix problems reported by other people please add Reported-by
tags to the patch to give a credit to the reporters.
Thanks,
Rafael
