Heh, you mean the X201s[1]? That's not a Sandy-Bridge one... The Sandy-Bridge ones do not announce the EC in DMI *at all* :/ Loading thinkpad-acpi on those works, dmesg shows[2]: [ 6.385415] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 8BET44WW (1.24 ), EC unknown [ 6.385416] thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad W520, model 4270CTO So yes, it works, but that's not detecting :) We could do the same stuff as you in get_thinkpad_model_data() and/or probe_for_thinkpad()...
