Thanks!

Regarding the From - I guess it is because the upper-case letters. I
will check how to fix this for the next time. In the worst case I guess
I have to adapt the SoB.

Nit: Just letting you know that checkpatch.pl complains about your
patches, since your From: address does not match your SoB one.

Patch applied though, thanks.

[PATCH v3] mfd: kempld-core: Check for DMI definition before ACPI

[Michael Brunner]

Change the detection order to priorize DMI table entries over available
ACPI entries.

This makes it more easy for product developers to patch product specific
handling into the driver.
Furthermore it allows to simplify the implementation a bit and
especially to remove the need to force synchronous probing.
