Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 0/2] platform/x86: alienware-wmi-wmax: Extend
 support to many devices

Hi all,

After a few months of searching for acpidumps of elegible laptops, I
came to the conclusion that if I continue this way, many devices will
never get support for this interface. This is due to very few users
uploading acpidumps of their machines or contacting me of that matter.

With this patchset, hopefully all (or almost all) elegible devices will
get support.

I'm submitting this as an RFC because I'm extending the WMI API and also
extending support to many unknown laptops models.

This depends on

	platform/x86: alienware-wmi-wmax: HWMON support + DebugFS + Improvements 

series, because I made a few generalizations there that work even for
Alienware desktops.

I sent a v2 right away because I made some silly mistakes. Sorry for the
noise.

Changes in v2:

[1/2]
  - Add kernel-doc to wmidev_get_acpi_device_uid()

[2/2]
  - Reworked logic a bit to include a check for !uid before calling
    strncmp()
