[Linux-stable-mirror] platform/x86: dell-laptop: Allocate buffer on heap rather than globally
commit 9862b43624 upstream
There has been a race condition identified with initialization of the dell-laptop driver due to changes in 4.15. This commit has been shown to resolve the race condition.
I'd like to see this brought back to 4.15 stable. It doesn't apply to anything earlier.
Thanks,

It doesn't apply cleanly to 4.15.y, it has 2 unresolved hunks. Can you provide a backported version so that it can be applied?
thanks,

Yes, I'll send to @stable separately shortly.
