Subject: [PATCH 3/9] platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: Use new buffer-based WMI API
Date: Sun,  8 Mar 2026 01:25:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308002522.4185-4-W_Armin@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260308002522.4185-1-W_Armin@gmx.de>

Use the new buffer-based WMI API to also support ACPI firmware
implementations that do not use ACPI buffers for returning the
results of a SMBIOS call.
