At some point, we will want sub-drivers to get references to other devices on the same WMI bus. This change is needed to avoid races. This ends up simplifying the setup code and fixing some leaks, too. This is based on the original work of Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>, but includes several modifications, many in response to review from Michał Kępień <kernel@kempniu.pl>: https://www.spinics.net/lists/platform-driver-x86/msg08201.html Signed-off-by: Darren Hart (VMware) <dvhart@infradead.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Mario Limonciello <mario_limonciello@dell.com> Cc: Pali Rohár <pali.rohar@gmail.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: platform-driver-x86@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
