[PATCH v1 0/2] platform/x86: intel: Bind to platform devices instead of ACPI ones

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 conversion of two platform x86 Intel
drivers, intel-rst (patch [1/2] and intel-smartconnect (patch [2/2]).
Thanks!
