Hello,

After this:

commit 538d7eb86d58b3d7d73f3bb3ff960c4bdf411c1a
drivers/platform/x86/wmi.c: use generic UUID library


some keyboard functions stopped working:

clevo-wmi - git://git.code.sf.net/p/clevo-wmi/code
[   83.877887] Clevo Get GUID not found


/*
#define CLWMI_GET_GUID "ABBC0F6D-8EA1-11d1-00A0-C90629100000"

...

    if(!wmi_has_guid(CLWMI_GET_GUID)) {
        pr_err("Clevo Get GUID not found\n");
        return -ENODEV;
    }


*/
