Whenever user has changed an Admin/System Password using the sysfs,
then we are automatically copying the new password to existing
password field.

Thank you.
I assume this was tested? The reason I'm asking because in the
Lenovo Think* case it turned out that the modified password only
becomes active after a reboot, so the right thing to do there was
to just keep current_password as is.

Hans

Yes it is tested and Dell BIOS Admin/System password do not require a reboot to be active.

Thank you for your patch, I've applied this patch to my review-hans
branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans
Note it will show up in my review-hans branch once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be
added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually
will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next
merge-window.
Regards,
Hans
