Subject: [GIT PULL] platform-drivers-x86 for 4.16-6
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2018 11:23:44 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180309192344.GA25680@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Hi Linus,

This race condition discovery and the resulting fix landed later than I
would have liked in the RC cycle, but I judged it worth fixing now
rather than waiting for stable. The Dell drivers have some legacy
dependencies we've been slowly untangling. I think a more invasive
change should happen in 4.17, but this minimal impact change fixes the
race condition and keeps Kconfig happy.

The following changes since commit 1cedc6385d5f7310af0a08831c6c4303486ba850:

  platform/x86: wmi: Fix misuse of vsprintf extension %pULL (2018-03-01 10:01:39 -0800)

  platform/x86: dell-smbios: Resolve dependency error on DCDBAS (2018-03-09 09:35:46 -0800)

platform-drivers-x86 for v4.16-6

Correct a module loading race condition between the DELL_SMBIOS backend
modules and the first user by converting them to bool features of the
DELL_SMBIOS driver. Fixup the resulting Kconfig dependency issue with
DCDBAS.

The following is an automated git shortlog grouped by driver:

 -  Resolve dependency error on DCDBAS
 -  Allow for SMBIOS backend defaults
 -  Link all dell-smbios-* modules together
 -  Rename dell-smbios source to dell-smbios-base
 -  Correct some style warnings
