Re: [PATCH v2 1/6] platform/x86: ayaneo-ec: Add Ayaneo Embedded Controller platform driver

From: Armin Wolf
Date: Sun Oct 26 2025 - 18:26:17 EST


Am 15.10.25 um 10:44 schrieb Antheas Kapenekakis:

Recent Ayaneo devices feature an ACPI mapped Embedded Controller (EC)
with standard addresses across models that provides access to fan
speed, fan control, battery charge limits, and controller power
controls. Introduce a new driver stub that will handle these driver
features.

Hi,

i think the "depends on X86" part is not necessary, all X86 platform drivers are
already only selectable on X86.

Why not doing this inside ayaneo_ec_init() ? This would also allow you
to mark the DMI table as __initconst. Please also mark ayaneo_ec_probe as
__init as well.

Thanks,
