We won't be heving two drivers with the same functionality. Give me one
reason why I should not drop the wmi driver (or both of them; I am not
sure which one we are talking about here).

On top of all that, this submission isn't about any of the wmi drivers,
but for the nct6775 driver, which just adds to the confusion.
