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

I've fixed the following checkpatch warning while applying this:

WARNING: Prefer "GPL" over "GPL v2" - see commit bf7fbeeae6db ("module: Cure the MODULE_LICENSE "GPL" vs. "GPL v2" bogosity")

Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be
added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually
will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next
merge-window.

Regards,

Hans
