Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] platform/x86: lg-laptop: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 12:14:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1868365.VLH7GnMWUR@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3698311.iIbC2pHGDl@rafael.j.wysocki>

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

In all cases in which a struct acpi_driver is used for binding a driver
to an ACPI device object, a corresponding platform device is created by
the ACPI core and that device is regarded as a proper representation of
underlying hardware.  Accordingly, a struct platform_driver should be
used by driver code to bind to that device.  There are multiple reasons
why drivers should not bind directly to ACPI device objects [1].

Overall, it is better to bind drivers to platform devices than to their
ACPI companions, so convert the LG Gram ACPI features and hotkeys driver
from an ACPI driver to a platform one.

While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs
layout and so it will be visible to user space.
