Subject: [PATCH v3 0/1] Resolve-WMI-query-failures-on-some-devices

The intention for this patch is resolve WMI query failures reported
in several HP OMEN notebooks.  See individual patches for complete
details, root cause, and test environments.

Description of changes between version 2 and version 3
------------------------------------------------------
v3 patch 1: Resolve-WMI-query-failures-on-some-devices

- Squash version 2 second patch into the original submission.
  The changes group similar declarations and provide clarity. 
- Incorporate fix for WMI query failures reported in several
  HP OMEN notebooks.  WMI queries fail on some devices where the
  ACPI method HWMC unconditionally attempts to create Fields
  beyond the buffer if the buffer is too small, this breaks
  essential features such as power profiles.
