[PATCH v2 7/8] ACPI: APEI: EINJ: Transition to the faux device interface

From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Tue Mar 18 2025 - 13:06:49 EST


The APEI error injection driver does not require the creation of a
platform device. Originally, this approach was chosen for simplicity
when the driver was first implemented.

With the introduction of the lightweight faux device interface, we now
have a more appropriate alternative. Migrate the driver to utilize the
faux bus, given that the platform device it previously created was not
a real one anyway. This will simplify the code, reducing its footprint
while maintaining functionality.
