Subject: dell-wmi: Stop storing pointers to DMI tables
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=18b6f80f5095036bd2204c54c89a5a0f5a785e3d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

dell-wmi: Stop storing pointers to DMI tables

The dmi_walk function maps the DMI table, walks it, and unmaps it.
This means that the dell_bios_hotkey_table that find_hk_type stores
points to unmapped memory by the time it gets read.

I've been able to trigger crashes caused by the stale pointer a
couple of times, but never on a stock kernel.

Fix it by generating the keymap in the dmi_walk callback instead of
storing a pointer.
