Hi,

please do this DMI check during module initialization. This avoids having an useless WMI driver on unsupported machines and allows for marking tested_devices_dmi_table as __initconst.
I wonder how to do it since I don't use module_init manually but module_wmi_driver to register the module.

Besides that, maybe a "force" module parameter for overriding the DMI checking could be
useful?

Considering the bricking potential i somewhat want for people to look in the source first, so i would not implementen a force module parameter.

Kind regards,

Werner
