From e70c9d5e61c6cb2272c866fc1303e62975006752 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:54:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] I8K: use standard DMI interface I8K: Change to use stock dmi infrastructure instead of homegrown parsing code. The driver now requires box's DMI data to match list of supported models so driver can be safely compiled-in by default without fear of it poking into random SMM BIOS code. DMI checks can be ignored with i8k.ignore_dmi option.
