Subject: [PATCH 0/6] platform/x86: wmi: ACPI improvements

This patch series improves the ACPI handling inside the ACPI WMI driver.
The first patch removes an unused variable, while the second patch
changes the order in which the ACPI handlers are removed on shutdown.
The third patch simplifies the error handling during probe by using
devres to manage devie resources, while the next two patches decouple
the ACPI notify handler from the wmi_block_list. The last patch
simplifies yet another ACPI-related function.

All patches have been tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505 and appear to work.

Armin Wolf (6):
  platform/x86: wmi: Remove unused variable in address space handler
  platform/x86: wmi: Remove ACPI handlers after WMI devices
  platform/x86: wmi: Use devres for resource handling
  platform/x86: wmi: Create WMI bus device first
  platform/x86: wmi: Decouple ACPI notify handler from wmi_block_list
  platform/x86: wmi: Simplify get_subobj_info()
