everyone is missing the point. we can figure out precisely which pin it is
But we cannot disable it, because *acpi is supposed to tell us* the purpose of pins but acpi isn't telling us this, or we are doing something wrong, which is why this pin is unmanaged Knowing what it is, and providing people with hacks to disable it, isn't going to solve the problem of bring identifying this pin from a higher level and bringing it under control. These machines are rare. Eventually someone will dive into the acpi code and figure it out.
