If a WMI event driver has no_notify_data set, then it indicates support for WMI events which provide no notify data, otherwise the notify() callback expects a valid ACPI object as notify data. However if a WMI event driver which requires notify data is bound to a WMI event device which cannot retrieve such data due to the _WED ACPI method being absent, then the driver will be dysfunctional since all WMI events will be dropped due to the missing notify data. Fix this by not allowing such WMI event drivers to bind to WMI event devices which do not support retrieving of notify data. Also reword the description of no_notify_data a bit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
