Thank you for the patches, the code looks good, but I think you need
to split them up a bit differently, the patches under drivers/acpi
need to be merged into a different subsys tree as those under
drivers/power/supply, so the "power: supply: ACPI/AXP288: Add quirks
for ECS EF20EA" needs to be split I believe.

Also the patches to files under drivers/acpi should have an
"ACPI: " prefix for their subject AFAIK.

Regards,

Hans
