Hi,
some older models might not support the USTT commands, which would
prevent dell-laptop
from loading on such machines.
Since dell-smbios-base already knows which commands are supported
(stored in da_supported_commands),
maybe you can add a function for checking if a certain class of
commands is supported and
skip thermal_init() if the USTT commands are not supported.
Thanks,

This is a good idea, I will have a look at dell-smbios-base to see
exactly how I can check for support. If support is not available,
thermal_init will skip or return 0 (depending on where I put the check).
Thanks,
Lyndon
