1-7 applied to acpi-test
I also ran scripts/Lindent over it to fix the whitespace.
Then, after merging into acpi-test I also applied the patch below.

Your choice if you want to make future updates with incremental patches
on top of acpi-test or re-send the series.

Also, while I see that distros do set CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS,
depending on it will make the driver vanish from menuconfig
if somebody hasn't set it.  I don't know if this is a big deal or not.
One possibility is to not depend on it in Kconfig, but via #ifdef's in the source.
The other is to retreat to using select -- which I'm hopeful we can avoid.
Or, maybe folks that don't get the driver via distro (who tend to enable everything)
will not get stumped by this.

    asus-laptop: handle new ACPI table manager
    
    acpi_get_table() used to give us a copy of a table,
    now it gives us a mapping to the BIOS' copy of the table.
