[PATCH 1/4] platform/x86: wmi: Check if WMxx control method exists

[Armin Wolf]

Some devices like the MSI GF63-12VF contain WMI method blocks
without providing the necessary WMxx ACPI control methods.
Avoid creating WMI devices for such WMI method blocks since
the resulting WMI device is going to be unusable.
