Subject: [PATCH v6 1/9] platform/x86: dell-descriptor: Use new buffer-based WMI API
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 22:34:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610203453.816254-2-W_Armin@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610203453.816254-1-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 descriptor.
