This series provides battery and AC drivers for Microsoft Surface
devices, where this information is provided via an embedded controller
(the Surface System Aggregator Module, SSAM) instead of the usual ACPI
interface.

Specifically, 7th generation Surface devices, i.e. Surface Pro 7,
Surface Book 3, Surface Laptop 3, as well as the Surface Laptop Go use
this new interface.

Note: This series depends on the

platform/surface: Add Surface Aggregator device registry

series. More specifically patch

platform/surface: Set up Surface Aggregator device registry

The full series has been merged into the for-next branch of the
platform-drivers-x86 tree [1]. The commit in question can be found at
[2].

Sebastian, I guess you want a pull-req from an immutable branch from me for
that dependend commit and then you will merge these 2 patches ?

Maximillian, this only needs that commit right, or would it be better if
I send Sebastian a pull-req for a branch with the entire series?

The entire series would be better, I think.

Strictly speaking, it only requires the mentioned commit to compile
successfully, but if anyone would want to test this they'd need the full
series (or at least the battery/power subsystem commit) due to the
device instantiation.

Same reasoning applies to the HID series.

Thanks,
Max
