[ Upstream commit 0e5b09b165510e2ea5c526e962c4edadd849ef4c ]

We're freeing "value_name" which is NULL, so that's a no-op, but we
intended to free "location_name" instead.  And then we don't free the
names in token_location_attrs[0] and token_value_attrs[0].

commit 7fe3fa3b5ec8e75389cce4bf5d052a52e6198d59 upstream.

As reported by Randy Dunlap:
&gt;&gt; WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for DELL_SMBIOS
&gt;&gt;   Depends on [m]: X86 [=y] &amp;&amp; X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES [=y]
&gt;&gt;	&amp;&amp; (DCDBAS [=m] ||
&gt;&gt; DCDBAS [=m]=n) &amp;&amp; (ACPI_WMI [=n] || ACPI_WMI [=n]=n)
&gt;&gt;   Selected by [y]:
&gt;&gt;   - DELL_LAPTOP [=y] &amp;&amp; X86 [=y] &amp;&amp; X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES [=y]

&gt;&gt; &amp;&amp; (RFKILL [=n] || RFKILL [=n]=n) &amp;&amp; SERIO_I8042 [=y]
&gt;&gt;

Right now it's possible to set dell laptop to compile in but this
causes dell-smbios to compile in which breaks if dcdbas is a module.

Dell laptop shouldn't select dell-smbios anymore, but depend on it.

commit 9f0a93de9139c2b0a59299cd36b61564522458f8 upstream.

When the module is removed the led workqueue is destroyed in the remove
callback, before the led device is unregistered from the led subsystem.

This leads to a NULL pointer derefence when the led device is
unregistered automatically later as part of the module removal cleanup.
Bellow is the backtrace showing the problem.

Pull x86 platform drives fixes from Darren Hart:

 - DELL_SMBIOS conditionally depends on ACPI_WMI in the same way it
   depends on DCDBAS, update the Kconfig accordingly.

 - fix the dell driver init order to ensure that the driver dependencies
   are met, avoiding race conditions resulting in boot failure on
   certain systems when the drivers are built-in.

Similarly to DCDBAS for DELL_SMBIOS_SMM, if DELL_SMBIOS_WMI is enabled,
DELL_SMBIOS becomes dependent on ACPI_WMI. Update the depends lines to
prevent a configuration where DELL_SMBIOS=y and either backend
dependency =m. Update the comment accordingly.

When the DELL_SMBIOS_SMM backend is enabled, the DELL_SMBIOS symbol
depends on DELL_DCDBAS, and we must avoid the situation where
DELL_SMBIOS=y and DCDBAS=m.

Adding the conditional dependency to DELL_SMBIOS such as:

depends !DELL_SMBIOS_SMM || (DCDBAS || DCDBAS=n)

results in the Kconfig tooling complaining about a circular dependency,
although it appears to work in practice.

Avoid the errors by simplifying the dependency and forcing DELL_SMBIOS
to be &lt;= DCDBAS if DCDBAS is enabled (thanks to Greg KH for the
suggestion).

Avoid accidental configurations by setting default y for DELL_SMBIOS
backends. Avoid this impacting the default build size, by making them
dependent on DELL_SMBIOS, so they only appear when DELL_SMBIOS is
manually selected, or by DELL_LAPTOP or DELL_WMI.

While DELL_SMBIOS does have a prompt, it does not have any dependencies.
Keeping DELL_SMBIOS visible, despite being "select"ed by DELL_LAPTOP and
DELL_WMI, is a deliberate choice to provide context for the WMI and SMM
backends, which would otherwise appear to float without context within
the menu.

Some race conditions were raised due to dell-smbios and its backends
not being ready by the time that a consumer would call one of the
exported methods.

To avoid this problem, guarantee that all initialization has been
done by linking them all together and running init for them all.

As part of this change the Kconfig needs to be adjusted so that
CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_SMM and CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_WMI are boolean
rather than modules.

CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS is a visually selectable option again and both
CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_WMI and CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_SMM are optional.
