Re: [PATCH] Revert "platform/x86: wmi: Destroy on cleanup rather than unregister"

[Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>]

Hi,

Quick self intro: I have take over drivers/platform/x86
maintainership from Andy; and I'm working my way through
the backlog of old patches in patchwork:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/platform-driver-x86/list/

Thank you for your patch, I've applied this patch to my review-hans 
branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans

Note it will show up there once I've pushed my local branch there,
which might take a while.

Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be
added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually
will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next
merge-window.

Regards,

Hans
