Subject: [PATCH 6/9] hwmon: (dell-smm) Use new buffer-based WMI API
Date: Sun,  8 Mar 2026 01:25:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308002522.4185-7-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 SMM call.
