When I converted dell-wmi to the new bus infrastructure, I left the
call to dell_wmi_check_descriptor_buffer() in dell_wmi_init(). This
could cause two problems:
- An error message when loading the driver on a system without
dell-wmi. We'd try to read the event descriptor even if the WMI
GUID wasn't there.
- A possible race if dell-wmi was loaded manually before wmi was
fully initialized.
Fix it by moving the call to the probe function where it belongs.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
