PATCH 1/1 acpi-wmi: Enable event methods when registering notifiers

According to the ACPI-WMI spec, event blocks may provide a function call for enabling/disabling them. This patch adds support for making these calls when registering or removing notifications. Without this, my Dell firmware provides no data in the event notification.

Andi, can you take this into the ACPI tree?
