BTW. I check-in on top of Linus' tree, not on top of acpi-test. Then i merge into acpi-test. So in the future, you could just as well base on Linus' tree and let me deal with the conflicts within acpi-test. fine with me either way, just mention where the base is like you have. > 0001-Remove-ACPI-references-from-variable-and-function-names.patch > 0002-prepare-pfdriver-for-multiple-users.patch > 0003-introduce-debug-macros.patch > 0004-add-sny6001-device-handling-from-sonypi.patch > 0005-unify-input-subsystem-event-fwd.patch > 0006-add-SNY6001-platform-attributes.patch > 0007-sanitize-printk-logs.patch > 0008-update-documentation.patch > 0009-add-sonypi-compat-code.patch > --- > Documentation/sony-laptop.txt | 25 > drivers/misc/Kconfig | 15 > drivers/misc/sony-laptop.c | 2019 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- > 3 files changed, 1842 insertions(+), 217 deletions(-) >SONY_LAPTOP_OLD There is probably a better name for this -- like SONY_PI_COMPATIBILITY or something. What about CONFIG_SONYPI? -- should it now depend on this driver not being included? SONYPI depends on !64BIT -- is that invalid, or perhaps you only need the compatibility stuff only in 32-bit mode? applied to acpi-test. It would be great if you can get some test feedback for the sonypi-era features to make sure that the code moved into the new driver works as well as the old sonypi. thanks, -Len
