This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled platform/x86: wmi: remove unnecessary argument to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: platform-x86-wmi-remove-unnecessary-argument.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8f06216a815ddd37f9408c5f4f4167c790cc507e Author: Barnabás Pőcze <pobrn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Sep 4 17:55:16 2021 +0000 platform/x86: wmi: remove unnecessary argument [ Upstream commit 84eacf7e6413d5e2d2f4f9dddf9216c18a3631cf ] The GUID block is available for `wmi_create_device()` through `wblock->gblock`. Use that consistently in the function instead of using a mix of `gblock` and `wblock->gblock`.
