The patch titled
dell-wmi: mask off upper bytes of event response
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: dell-wmi: mask off upper bytes of event response
From: Mario Limonciello <mario_limonciello@xxxxxxxx>
In debugging with some future machines that actually contain BIOS level
support for dell-wmi, I've determined that the upper half of the data that
comes back from wmi_get_event_data may sometimes contain extra information
that isn't currently relevant when pulling scan codes out of the data.
This causes dell-wmi to improperly respond to these events.
