Ok. I'll add a maintainers entry for myself.
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.
Ok. Will do. I'll move it to drivers/input/touchscreen/ as per Dmitry's suggestion.
So when this does make it upstream, it will have to live outside the /drivers/acpi/ directory, and acpi should not be part of the driver name. It should build depending on CONFIG_ACPI, and should load depending on acpi_disabled, and should use ACPI routines that are exported by the ACPI sub-system (it does, though the headers are so incestuous at this point that it isn't enforced)
Ok. Will do.
thanks, -Len ps. I believe that you want to delete the reference below to /proc/acpi/event, yes?
Yes, I did.
