so i tried strace

        stat64("/dev/thinkpad/thinkpad", 0xbffffb3c) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a
        directory)
        stat64("/dev/thinkpad", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660,
        st_rdev=makedev(10, 170), ...}) = 0
        open("/dev/thinkpad", O_RDONLY)         = 3

tpctl is finding the correct device.
the next thing concerning a device:

fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 1), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = 0x40018000
write(1, "tpctl: SMAPI BIOS error 0x86 (\"f"..., 71) = 71


so is it looking for a device 136,1 or does it not need a device?
