Hi:
In debugging with some future machines that actually contain BIOS level
support for dell-wmi, I've determined that the upper half of the data
that comes back from wmi_get_event_data may sometimes contain extra
information that isn't currently relevant when pulling scan codes out of
the data. This causes dell-wmi to improperly respond to these events.
I'm attaching a patch (Exchange would munge up the line breaks otherwise).
Thanks,

Sure. Do you want me to resend all of them to add that?

Can you please send along a Signed-off-by: for this patch?
Documentation/SubmittingPatches explains what it's all about.
Thanks.
