Hi All,

This series is part of a larger effort to switch over all drivers using
the struct acpi_driver interface to the more common struct platform_driver
interface and eliminate the former. The background is explained in
Documentation/driver-api/acpi/acpi-drivers.rst and in the changelog of
the patch that introduced the above document:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/2396510.ElGaqSPkdT@rafael.j.wysocki/

The bottom line is that the kernel would be better off without struct
acpi_driver and so it is better to get rid of it.

This series carries out driver conversions of the platform x86 drivers
for Asus platforms.

Patch [1/4] updates the asus-laptop driver to install an ACPI notify
handler by itself instead of using the .notify() callback from struct
acpi_driver, which is requisite for the driver conversion.

Patche [2/4] converts the asus-laptop driver to using struct platform_driver
for device binding.

Patch [3/4] updates the asus-wireless driver to install an ACPI notify
handler by itself instead of using the .notify() callback from struct
acpi_driver, which is requisite for the driver conversion.

Patche [4/4] converts the asus-wireless driver to using struct platform_driver
for device binding.

Thanks!
