Maybe you can come up with a patch then? I have no idea
which namespace to use here, seeing that there are already
six differnet namespaces in use in drivers/platform/x86/intel/
but none of them seem to be a good fit for this one.

Are you asking to just define another namespace here?
How would I define what the rules about using this namespace
are, and where are they documented?
