Linus Torvalds 07c455ee22 platform-drivers-x86 for v4.15-1
For this cycle we have quite an update for the Dell SMBIOS driver
 including WMI work to provide an interface for SMBIOS tokens via sysfs
 and WMI support for 2017+ Dell laptop models. SMM dispatcher code is
 split into a separate driver followed by a new WMI dispatcher.
 The latter provides a character device interface to user space.
 
 The pull request contains a merge of immutable branch from Wolfram Sang
 in order to apply a dependent fix to the Intel CherryTrail Battery
 Management driver.
 
 Other Intel drivers got a lot of cleanups. The Turbo Boost Max 3.0
 support is added for Intel Skylake.
 
 Peaq WMI hotkeys driver gets its own maintainer and white list of
 supported models.
 
 Silead DMI is expanded to support few additional platforms.
 
 Tablet mode via GMMS ACPI method is added to support some ThinkPad
 tablets.
 
 Two commits appear here which were previously merged during the
 v4.14-rcX cycle:
 
 - d7ca5ebf24 platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Use devm_* calls in driver probe function
 - e3075fd6f8 platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Use spin_lock to protect GCR updates
