Hello, the following patches are my current work to move sony_acpi away from drivers/acpi and avoid using /proc to expose the userspace interface in to order to finally see the driver included mainline. (Aaargh! Len, I missed your first batch...) 1/4: will move drivers/acpi/sony_acpi.c to drivers/misc/sony-laptop.c 2/4 to 4/4: implement platform_device and clean up the code Those patches apply on top of the sony-acpi series akpm sent earlier[1] and are developed on the acpi test branch.
