linux-next: manual merge of the dmi tree with Linus' tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the dmi tree got a conflict in:

  drivers/acpi/bus.c

between commit:

  ae976358cd7b ("Revert "ACPI / bus: Parse tables as term_list for Dell XPS 9570 and Precision M5530"")

from Linus' tree and commit:

  767b174cad46 ("ACPI / bus: Only call dmi_check_system on X86")

from the dmi tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.

Thanks for the heads up. I have rebased my dmi tree on top of 4.19-rc2,
and this solves the conflict.
