This is statement which I got from Dell for 10 years old Dell models.

I have already stated that poking of address in kernel is a big risk
specially for all current and any future dell hardware. Hiding it just
under the kernel parameter is still a risk, specially as neither its
name, nor description say that it is dangerous.

But anyway, why this code is being introduced? Have you communicated
with Dell about this problem?
