Tested-by: Andy Lutomirski # Dell XPS 13 9350 This successfully works around: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110041 but the BIOS people should still fix their ASL. Sigh. On the Dell laptop, the observable effect is that the driver loads and finds the iTCO thing. Pali, this may be considerably more useful on your laptop. --Andy
