Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 00/15] Introduce support for Dell SMBIOS over WMI

Hi! Just a small idea, what about including example userspace
application which would use this new API? I think such application can
be useful for documentation purpose to see how this new API should be
used. And in review process other people can point if there would be
some problems with usage.

I do not know if it is requirement or not for introducing new kernel
API, but still example code is very useful for developers when they
would start to use this new API and correctly.
