Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] platform/x86: fujitsu: Bind drivers to platform devices instead of ACPI ones
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 21:41:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1968442.tdWV9SEqCh@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
Hi All,
This series is part of a larger effort to switch over all drivers using
the struct acpi_driver interface to the more common struct platform_driver
interface and eliminate the former. The background is explained in
Documentation/driver-api/acpi/acpi-drivers.rst and in the changelog of
the patch that introduced the above document:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2396510.ElGaqSPkdT@rafael.j.wysocki/
The bottom line is that the kernel would be better off without struct
acpi_driver and so it is better to get rid of it.
This series carries out driver conversions of the platform x86 drivers
for Fujitsu platforms.
Patch [1/5] converts the fujitsu-tablet to a proper platform one based
on the struct platform_driver interface.
Patch [2/5] rearranges the code in the fujitsu-laptop driver to avoid
introducing forward declarations of some functions in the subsequent
patches.
Patch [3/5] updates the fujitsu-laptop driver to install ACPI notify
handlers by itself instead of using .notify() callbacks from struct
acpi_driver, which is requisite for the driver conversion.
Patches [4-5/5] replaces two instances of the struct acpi_driver
interface in the fujitsu-laptop driver with struct platform_driver.
Thanks!
