Unfortunately, yes. This will re-instate the race condition it "fixed". I'll work with Mario to fix this properly in 4.17, preferably in a way that we can apply to stable. Pending an "oops, nevermind, the patch works" from Dominik by tomorrow morning, I'll submit the pull request to revert dell-smbios changes back to and including 25d47027e10.
Apologies for the noise on this one Linus, it got away from me.
