[Bug 2084808] Re: Dell Alienware sysytem reports errors of dell_wmi_sysman and dell_smbios in demsg

After applying the patch above, one of the two error message has gone:

dell_wmi_sysman: Unable to run on non-Dell system

But the other error message still occurs:

dell_smbios: Unable to run on non-Dell system


Upstream has another fix for this issue:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/commit/?h=review-hans&id=a36b8b84ac4327b90ef5a22bc97cc96a92073330


I'll submit another SRU once it lands on the linux-next.
