    platform/x86: wmi: Require query for data blocks, rename writable to setable · fd70da6a
    Darren Hart (VMware) authored
    The Microsoft WMI documentation requires all data blocks to implement
    the Query Control Method (WQxx). If we encounter a data block not
    implementing this control method, issue a warning, and ignore the data
    block. Remove the "readable" attribute as all data blocks must be
    readable (query-able).
    
    Be consistent with the language in the documentation, replace the
    "writable" attribute with "setable".
    
    Simplify (flatten) the control flow of wmi_create_device a bit while
    we are updating it for the above changes.
