  This patch series allows WMI drivers to retrieve the number of
WMI object instances. This functionality benefits several current
and upcoming WMI drivers, the dell-wmi-sysman driver is converted
to use this new API as an example.

The changes are compile-tested only, the change to the dell-wmi-sysman
driver also needs to be tested on real hardware.

Changes since RFC v2:
- modify wmi_instance_count() to return an integer

Thank you for your patch-series, I've applied the series to my
review-hans branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans

Note it will show up in my review-hans branch once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.

Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be
added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually
will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next
merge-window.

Regards,

Hans
