Subject: [GIT PULL] platform-drivers-x86 for 4.16-7
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2018 12:45:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180314194521.GA7096@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Hi Linus,

This addresses the Dell boot failure reported by Dominik as well as the
missing ACPI_WMI related Kconfig dependency.

As discussed, if any issues are reported against related dell drivers,
I will immediately prepare the revert back to:

94f77cb platform/x86: dell-smbios: Rename dell-smbios source to dell-smbios-base

Thanks,

  platform/x86: Fix dell driver init order (2018-03-14 11:05:53 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
platform-drivers-x86 for v4.16-7

DELL_SMBIOS conditionally depends on ACPI_WMI in the same way it depends
on DCDBAS, update the Kconfig accordingly. Correct the driver init order
to ensure that the driver dependencies are met, avoiding race conditions
resulting in boot failure on certain systems when the drivers are
built-in.

The following is an automated git shortlog grouped by driver:

dell-smbios and related drivers:
 - Fix dell driver init order
 - Resolve dependency error on ACPI_WMI
