Subject: platform: x86: asus_acpi: world-writable procfs files
From: Vasiliy Kulikov <[email protected]>
commit 8040835760adf0ef66876c063d47f79f015fb55d upstream.
Don't allow everybody to change ACPI settings. The comment says that it
is done deliberatelly, however, the comment before disp_proc_write()
says that at least one of these setting is experimental.
