My kernel is missing 0944d889a2, wherein the dmi handling moved to a platform
device. Without this commit the driver discovers both ACPI and SMBIOS records
but only initializes the former; this is visible in the tracebacks below.
Is there a case for pushing a similar patch to stable releases predating 0944d889a2
to prevent this crash?
Thank you for your time,
Andrew
