Thank you for your patch-series, I've applied this series to my
review-hans branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans

Note it will show up in my review-hans branch once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.

I will include this patch in my next fixes pull-req to Linus
for the current kernel development cycle.

Regards,

Hans
