Thanks. Darren's patch. It was supposed to be prevented by
32d7b19bad9695c4c9026b0ceb3a384561ddee70
(see comment in Kconfig).

#
# The DELL_SMBIOS driver depends on ACPI_WMI and/or DCDBAS if those
# backends are selected. The "depends" line prevents a configuration
# where DELL_SMBIOS=y while either of those dependencies =m.
#

As I can tell it's getting caused by CONFIG_DELL_LAPTOP which is
select DELL_SMBIOS

OK, this should help:
