#1312449 — [PATCH v3 0/3] dell-wmi: DMI misuse fixes

This may all be 4.5 material.

Changes from v2:
 - Dropped the dmi_walk return value change.  I'll resend it separately.
 - Rewrite the hotkey_num change
 - Add the select DMI patch.
 - Fix patch 1 error handling.

Changes from v1:
 - Patch 1 has minor tweaks from Jean.
 - Patches 2 and 3 are new.
 
Andy Lutomirski (3):
  dell-wmi: Stop storing pointers to DMI tables
  dell-wmi, dell-laptop: select DMI
  dell-wmi: Clean up hotkey table size check

#1312450 — [PATCH v3 1/3] dell-wmi: Stop storing pointers to DMI tables

The dmi_walk function maps the DMI table, walks it, and unmaps it.
This means that the dell_bios_hotkey_table that find_hk_type stores
points to unmapped memory by the time it gets read.

I've been able to trigger crashes caused by the stale pointer a
couple of times, but never on a stock kernel.

Fix it by generating the keymap in the dmi_walk callback instead of
storing a pointer.

Changes from v2:
 - dmi_walk failure is no longer fatal (Jean)

Changes from v1:
 - Rename handle_dmi_table to handle_dmi_entry (Jean)
 - Remove useless assignment to results->err (Jean)

#1312453 — [PATCH v3 3/3] dell-wmi: Clean up hotkey table size check

Checking the table for a minimum size of 7 bytes makes no sense: any valid
hotkey table has a size that's a multiple of 4.

Clean this up: replace the hardcoded header length with a sizeof and
change the check to ignore an empty hotkey table.  The only behavior
change is that a 7-byte table (which is nonsensical) will now be
treated as absent instead of as valid but empty.
