Severity: normal


Dear Debian folks,


Linux commit f1e1ea5167 (platform/x86: Move all dell drivers to their 
own subdirectory), present since v5.12-rc1, refactored Dell device 
related code, introducing the new Kconfig option 
`X86_PLATFORM_DRIVERS_DELL` is not set

     $ diff -u /boot/config-5.10.0-8-amd64 
/boot/config-5.13.0-trunk-amd64 | grep DELL
     -CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS=m
     -CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_WMI=y
     -CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_SMM=y
     -CONFIG_DELL_LAPTOP=m
     -CONFIG_DELL_RBTN=m
     -CONFIG_DELL_RBU=m
     -CONFIG_DELL_SMO8800=m
     -CONFIG_DELL_WMI=m
     -CONFIG_DELL_WMI_DESCRIPTOR=m
     -CONFIG_DELL_WMI_AIO=m
     -CONFIG_DELL_WMI_LED=m
     +# CONFIG_X86_PLATFORM_DRIVERS_DELL is not set

On the Dell Latitude E75250, not selecting this causes the function key 
for microphone (un-)mute and Wifi (de-)activation to stop working [1].

It’d be great if the Dell platform drivers could be built again.


Kind regards,

Paul
