Description:
I am using LG Gram, and recently in Kernel version 4.20 a new driver is added which adds some extra support to the hardware. I installed the kernel 4.20 from arch package database, but unfortunately, it seems the driver is not compiled along with the kernel. It is my request to please consider this feature for the next build of this kernel.

Regards,
Sparsa


Steps to reproduce:

$ zgrep LG_LAPTOP /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_LG_LAPTOP is not set
