Hi Darren,

Thanks for the comments. I will send a new version with more information.

I believe it is better to have a new driver as it seems OEM can
depreciate and (probably is depreciating) old features and existing
IDs. Especially, a lot of BIOS features are moving to be handled by OS
and userspace applications. I expect to see more simple ACPI devices
to be handled by simple drivers. Combining devices with different
purposes into a single complex driver can be misleading.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for clarifying it for me.

Cheers,
Alex Hung
