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 the platform x86 xo15-ebook
driver on top of 3 preliminary changes.
Patch [1/4] fixes the handling of a wakeup source and ACPI GPE in the
driver during probe and removal.
Patch [2/4] cleans up label formatting in ebook_switch_add().
Patch [3/4] updates the 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.
Patch [4/4] converts the driver to using struct platform_driver for device
binding.
Thanks!
