[PATCH 2/3] Don't load Dell-WMI on non WMI systems

From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Tue Apr 21 2009 - 14:02:10 EST


Hi:

I've noticed that the dell-wmi module will load on systems even if WMI
isn't supported. As this is dependent upon BIOS version, dell-wmi
should return -ENODEV in these situations.

Regards
