The second switch-case has no real purpose:

- for I8K_BIOS_VERSION, val does not represent a return value,
making the check for error values unnecessary.
- for I8K_MACHINE_ID, val remains zero, so the error check is
unnecessary too.

Remove the switch-case and move the calls to copy_to_user()
into the first switch-case for I8K_BIOS_VERSION/_MACHINE_ID.
Omit buff[] since data->machineid already contains the string
s/->machineid/->bios_machineid/

with the necessary zero padding.
data is allocated by devm_kzalloc() so data->bios_machineid is really
zero padded.

Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.

What about usage of sizeof(data->bios_machineid) instead of hardcoded
constant 16? And maybe same for constant 4?

For the string yes, but maybe i should change the int to an u32?
