All recent ThinkPad BIOS-es support the GSKL method used to query the
keyboard-layout used by the ECFW for the SHIFT + other-key key-press
emulation for special keys such as e.g. the '=', '(' and ')' keys
above the numpad on 15" models.
So just checking for the method is not a good indicator of the
model supporting getting/setting the keyboard_lang.
On models where this is not supported GSKL succeeds, but it returns
METHOD_ERR in the returned integer to indicate that this is not
supported on this model.
Add a check for METHOD_ERR and return -ENODEV if it is set to
avoid registering a non-working keyboard_lang sysfs-attr on models
where this is not supported.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
