From: Pali RohÃr
Date: Thu Dec 24 2015 - 16:20:12 EST


According to Dell WMI document mentioned in ML dicussion archived at
http://www.spinics.net/lists/platform-driver-x86/msg07220.html OS should
check Dell WMI descriptor structure. Structure also provide Dell WMI
interface version which is used later.
