Merge tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v4.15-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86
Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko:
"Here is the collected material against Platform Drivers x86 subsystem.
It's rather bit busy cycle for PDx86, mostly due to Dell SMBIOS driver
activity
For this cycle we have quite an update for the Dell SMBIOS driver
including WMI work to provide an interface for SMBIOS tokens via sysfs
and WMI support for 2017+ Dell laptop models. SMM dispatcher code is
split into a separate driver followed by a new WMI dispatcher. The
latter provides a character device interface to user space.
The git history also contains a merge of immutable branch from Wolfram
Sang in order to apply a dependent fix to the Intel CherryTrail
Battery Management driver.
Other Intel drivers got a lot of cleanups. The Turbo Boost Max 3.0
support is added for Intel Skylake.
Peaq WMI hotkeys driver gets its own maintainer and white list of
supported models.
Silead DMI is expanded to support few additional platforms.
Tablet mode via GMMS ACPI method is added to support some ThinkPad
tablets.
