== Precise SRU Justification ==
This enables the samsung-laptop driver to work on new models with the vendor "SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.".  The full original patch would not apply to Precise cleanly.  I only backported the section of the original patch that checks for a DMI_MATCH of various chassis types versus checking for specific product and board names. 

== Fix ==
commit 3be324a94df0c3f032178d04549dbfbf6cccb09a

    samsung-laptop: make the dmi check less strict


== Impact ==
Certain Samsung laptop models will not be able to run Precise without this patch.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
