Bug description:
The launchpad bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2084808
is supposed to fix two issues:
errors in dell_wmi_sysman
errors in dell_smbios
But it ended up only fixing the first issue, remaining the second
issue unfixed.
This launchpad bug fixes the second issue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Impact]
A Dell Alienware system reports an error message in dmesg after booting up:
dell_smbios: Unable to run on non-Dell system
[Fix]
Applying a patch from upstream linux help fix the issue:
a36b8b84ac43 platform/x86: dell-smbios-base: Extends support to Alienware
products
[Test Plan]
1. Boot to Ubuntu OS
2. Launch $ sudo dmesg
3. Check if the error message is gone
[Where problems could occur]
May cause regression
