Please wrap descriptions to around 72 characters (leaves room for indentation
in the email thread :)

This seems very much like a board specific hack.  I've cc'd people
who have worked on the driver recently and the acpi list.

So this is poking something on
PCI bus 0
LPC bus B
Somethingbus 0
Ambient light controller.

I assume there is a better way of establishing this needs to be set?
