Well WMI events get enabled via a SMBIOS call,
This is truth only for few laptops and only for one WMI event.
Everything else is automatically enabled, no call is needed to issue.

IIRC dell-led.ko uses also dell-smbio.ko, so it is not exclusive for
dell-laptop.
so it seems to fit. Basically this is a case of
we have to put this somewhere and dell-smbios is the best fit IMHO.
Agree, we need to put it somewhere...
Basically we need to solve problem how (currently) 3 kernel modules can
communicate. Does not kernel support such "bus/event" mechanism for
this?
Yes it does, that is exactly what notifiers are for, but we need to
declare the bus somewhere. I still believe dell-smbios is the best
place.
