Hi Greg et al, This series doesn't change functionality (at least not intentionally), but it get rids of a few unneeded checks, parameter passing etc. Patches [1-2/6] simplify the ACPI "glue" code. Patch [3/6] renames a couple of ACPI functions to avoid name collisions going forward. Patch [4/6] gets rid of acpi_platform_notify(). Patch [5/6] rearranges the software nodes code along the lines of what happens to the ACPI "glue" code in patch [4/6]. Patch [6/6] deals with device_platform_notify(). Please review and let me know if there are any concerns regarding this. Thanks!
