Subject: [GIT PULL] platform-drivers-x86 for 4.17-2

Hi Linus,

I was trying to keep DELL_LAPTOP visible in the menu, but the "select"
behavior makes that impossible. I'm planning on refactoring the Kconfig
by vendor for those with many options in 4.18 which should clean things
up. This fix from Mario corrects the potential for misconfiguration for
4.17 and 4.16 via stable.

Thanks,

platform-drivers-x86 for v4.17-2

We missed a case in the Dell config dependencies resulting in a possible bad
configuration, resolve it by giving up on trying to keep DELL_LAPTOP visible in
the menu and make it depend on DELL_SMBIOS.

Fix a null pointer dereference at module unload for the asus-wireless driver.
