Sebastian, I have taken the liberty to assume that this means that you are
ok with merging the entire series through the pdx86 tree (I've done a test-merge
with linux-power-supply/for-next and there are no conflicts).

Thomas, Thank you for your patch-series, I've applied the series
to my review-hans branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans

Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be
added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually
will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next
merge-window.

Regards,

Hans
