Thanks for the follow-up Mattia, I've added this patch series to the acpi-test tree, and added Lindent patch on top of it. I'll double check that it has all the patches from -mm and NAK those when I do, so andrew doesn't get messed up. However, some things need to be addressed before it can go upstream: What happens to sonypi? Where is the patch to update MAINTAINERS for sony-laptop? Documentation/acpi/sony_acpi.txt needs a revision, and a re-name, and the Kconfig help text needs a revision too. Finally, I don't have a Sony laptop so I can't test this. I'd like to see successful test feedback from Andrew, Luming, and other Sony owners before we push it. thanks, -Len ps. I recommend that at some point you globally replace "sony_acpi" in the driver with just "sony".
