On many recent ThinkPad laptops, there's a new LED next to the ESC key, that indicates the FnLock status. When the Fn+ESC combo is pressed, FnLock is toggled, which causes the Media Key functionality to change, making it so that the media keys either perform their media key function, or function as an F-key by default. The Fn key can be used the access the alternate function at any time. With the current linux kernel, the LED doens't change state if you press the Fn+ESC key combo. However, the media key functionality *does* change. This is annoying, since the LED will stay on if it was on during bootup, and it makes it hard to keep track what the current state of the FnLock is. This patch calls an ACPI function, that gets the current media key state, when the Fn+ESC key combo is pressed. Through testing it was discovered that this function causes the LED to update correctly to reflect the current state when this function is called. The relevant ACPI calls are the following: \_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.EC0_.HKEY.GMKS: Get media key state, returns 0x603 if the FnLock mode is enabled, and 0x602 if it's disabled. \_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.EC0_.HKEY.SMKS: Set media key state, sending a 1 will enable FnLock mode, and a 0 will disable it.
