Can you please elaborate a bit more? All this change does is to change
the name of the variable being iterated in the loop. As you said, the
loop was introduced in a previous series, and you didn't spot any
problems there. I don't think it makes sense to also rename the
variable in that other series, since I'm only renaming it because I'm
moving it to a header so it can be used by asus-wmi.c as well.
