Odd, why is a sonypi patch in the drivers-x86 tree?

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/char/sonypi.c
Mattia Dongili <malattia@xxxxxxxx> (maintainer:SONY VAIO CONTROL DEVICE DRIVER)
Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> (supporter:CHAR and MISC DRIVERS)
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (supporter:CHAR and MISC DRIVERS)
platform-driver-x86@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:SONY VAIO CONTROL DEVICE DRIVER)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

As I'm still listed as being in charge of this, that's why I took it...

Anyway, not a big issue, duplicate for it should be fine.

thanks,
