[PATCH v1 07/10] platform/x86: classmate-laptop: Convert accel driver to a platform one

From: Rafael J. Wysocki

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

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 cmpc_accel_acpi_driver in the platform
x86 classmate-laptop driver from an ACPI driver to a platform one.

After this change, the input device registered by the driver will
appear under the platform device used for driver binding, but the sysfs
attribute added by the driver under the ACPI companion of that device
will stay there in case there are utilities in user space expecting
it to be present there.

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