Oops in -rc series fixed by [PATCH] dell-laptop: Terminate quirks list properly

[Julie Sullivan]

Hi guys,

This is to confirm that Martin's change which is now in -next fixes an oops on
my Dell MXG071 (also known as the XPS M1730):



[PATCH] dell-laptop: Terminate quirks list properly

Martin Nyhus
Thu, 15 Mar 2012 10:28:34 -0700

Add missing DMI_NONE entry to end of the quirks list so
dmi_check_system() won't read past the end of the list.

This oops is in the current -rc series originally appearing in -rc1 and I 
had bisected it to Acelan's commit:

commit 2a748853ca395c48ea75baa250f7cea6f0f23dbf
Author: AceLan Kao <acelan.kao@canonical.com>
Date:   Thu Nov 17 15:30:42 2011 +0800

    dell-laptop: add 3 machines that has touchpad LED

    Add "Vostro 3555", "Inspiron N311z", and "Inspiron M5110" into quirks,
    so that they could have touchpad LED function work.

Reverting this patch or adding my machine to the quirk array also fixes it
but obviously terminating the list properly is preferable ;-)



Sample oops below.
