[PATCH v1 00/10] platform/x86: Stop using acpi_device_name/class()

Hi All,
There are two fields in struct acpi_device_pnp, device_name and device_class,
that were supposed to be populated and used by device drivers, but they have
never been used consistently and some drivers just populate them and don't
access them later, and some drivers use them uninitialized.
All of that is confusing and messy, so the drivers for core ACPI devices
have been updated to stop using those fields which are now slated for
removal, but they are still accessed in some places.
This series updates platform x86 drivers accessing those fields to stop
doing that.
Thanks!
