The Dell SMBIOS WMI interface will fail for some more complex calls unless a WMI hotfix has been included. Most platforms have this fix available in a maintenance BIOS release. In the case the driver is loaded on a platform without this fix, disable the userspace interface. A hotfix indicator is present in the dell-wmi-descriptor that represents whether or not more complex calls will work properly. "Simple" calls such as those used by dell-laptop and dell-wmi will continue to work properly so dell-smbios-wmi should not be blocked from binding and being used as the dell-smbios dispatcher.
