The purpose of this patch is to remove 128 bytes buffer limitation
imposed in bios_args structure.

A limiting factor discovered during this investigation was the struct
bios_args.data size restriction.  The data member size limits all possible
WMI commands to those requiring buffer size of 128 bytes or less.
Several WMI commands and queries require a buffer size larger than 128
bytes hence limiting current and feature supported by the driver.
It is for this reason, struct bios_args.data changed and is dynamically
allocated.  hp_wmi_perform_query function changed to handle the memory
allocation and release of any required buffer size.

All changes were validated on a HP ZBook Workstation notebook,
HP EliteBook x360, and HP EliteBook 850 G8.  Additional
validation was included in the test process to ensure no other
commands were incorrectly handled.

Was this meant as "changes from v3->v4"?  Or it's just a comment?

No need for double --.  Just put everything commentary below the one --.

In general it's nice to include either in your cover letter "changes from X-Y" or in individual patches below the --.
It makes it easier for anyone who reviewed previous version to spot the differences.

The second cut-line gets added by git format-patch, there is nothing
which can be done about that.

This should be:

	u8 data[];

See:

Please use the struct_size() macro for this, see the end of:

https://docs.kernel.org/process/deprecated.html#zero-length-and-one-element-arrays

for an example.

Should we maybe have  a "ret = -EINVAL" here, or
maybe ret = 0 ? Or is ret always 0 here already ?

Otherwise this looks good to me.
