Darren, Andy, any comments on this patch?
I think now it should work also those corner, but legit cases.

Just one suggestion, is above check still needed in dell-wmi.c code?
I think that now it should be job of dell_wmi_get_descriptor_valid()
function to fully validate if dell wmi descriptor driver is able to
provide all needed information for dell-wmi driver.
