Subject: [PATCH 4/9] platform/x86: dell-wmi-base: Use new buffer-based WMI API
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 01:25:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308002522.4185-5-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 the event data.
Signed-off-by: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>
