	The sysfs core now allows instances of 'struct bin_attribute' to be moved into read-only memory. Make use of that to protect them against accidental or malicious modifications. While at it switch from the custom DCDBAS_BIN_ATTR_RW() to the identical BIN_ATTR_RW() macro.

2022-04-27	platform/x86/dell: add buffer allocation/free functions for SMI calls	Juergen Gross
	The dcdbas driver is used to call SMI handlers for both, dcdbas and dell-smbios-smm. Both drivers allocate a buffer for communicating with the SMI handler. The physical buffer address is then passed to the called SMI handler via %ebx. Unfortunately this doesn't work when running in Xen dom0, as the physical address obtained via virt_to_phys() is only a guest physical address, and not a machine physical address as needed by SMI. The problem in dcdbas is easy to correct, as dcdbas is using dma_alloc_coherent() for allocating the buffer, and the machine physical address is available via the DMA address returned in the DMA handle. In order to avoid duplicating the buffer allocation code in dell-smbios-smm, add a generic buffer allocation function to dcdbas and use it for both drivers. This is especially fine regarding driver dependencies, as dell-smbios-smm is already calling dcdbas to generate the SMI request.

2021-02-04	platform/x86: Move all dell drivers to their own subdirectory	Mario Limonciello
	A user without a Dell system doesn't need to pick any of these drivers. Users with a Dell system can enable this submenu and all drivers behind it will be enabled.
