Subject: dell-laptop: Add another Dell laptop to the DMI whitelist
From: Erik Andren <[email protected]>
commit cb6a7937f4328a267e0806680ade500ed2c3c01a upstream.
The Latitude C640 has another variation of dell in its DMI vendor entry.
Add it to the whitelist in order to enjoy the sweet fruits of software
backlight toggling.
