Hi Rafael,

While reviewing a new acpi-driver:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/platform-driver-x86/patch/CAFysUkSztjJpSjKA92a=3j3Nj7vfQy5TCsiJtNmfjegxLBvFSA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I was wondering what the meaning / use of the acpi_driver.class and
acpi_device_class() fields is and if these should be set to anything
specific ?

I did a quick grep and most drivers seem to set this to a string describing
the driver / to the driver-name and they seem to set the 2 fields to the
exact same value. But some drivers also use different values for
acpi_driver.class and acpi_device_class() ?

Regards,

Hans
