This experimental patch series allows WMI drivers to retrieve the number of WMI object instances. This functionallity benefits several current and upcoming WMI drivers, the dell-wmi-sysman driver is converted to use this new API as an example. The changes are compile-tested only, the change to the dell-wmi-sysman driver also needs to be tested on real hardware.
