[SRU] [Bionic] [PATCH 0/4] Keyboard backlight sysfs sometimes is missing on Dell laptops

[Kai-Heng Feng]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797304

[Impact]
When the keyboard backlight sysfs is missing, userspace does not know
the current keyboard backlight brightness.

[Fix]
There's a loading order race condition, between the dell-smbios and its
backends, dell-smbios-{smm,wmi}.
Build them as one module can solve the issue.

The last patch is what we want, but pulls the entire series as a whole.

[Test]
The backlight sysfs always exists with the patch. Userspace now knows
the current keyboard backlight brightness.

[Regression Potential]
Low. No functional change, as it simply links the modules together.
Limits to Dell machines.
