These events don't happen all that often. But this still is a good suggestion.

Since this is a regression fix of sorts I've gone ahead and made the suggested
changes myself (keeping José as author) and I've applied this to my tree,
see the version in the review-hans branch to see what the merged version
looks like.

Thank you for your patch, I've applied this patch to my review-hans 
branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans

I will also add this to the pdx86 fixes branch and include it in my
next pdx86-fixes for 5.15 pull-req to Linus.

Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be
added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually
will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next
merge-window.

Regards,

Hans
