Jaya,
Thanks for updating this patch.

Note that this driver can not be accepted into the kernel without
an entry being added to the MAINTAINERS file showing who is
going to look after it.

Preferably, that person should be inside Atlas, or have documentation
or other connections or insight into the platform.  I can't maintain it
because I don't have any of the above, and while this platform
specific driver uses ACPI, it is not part of ACPI.

Yes, I know that you were following the existing examples of
platform-specific drivers in /drivers/acpi, but those examples
need to change (and they are a little more complex than this one
b/c they scribble in their own unique ways /proc/acpi...)
But think sonypi, instead.


If you prefer I can stuff it in drivers/input/touchscreen/ .
