Hi,

for WMI drivers the list platform-driver-x86@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx should probably be
on CC too.
Also all other WMI drivers, even for hwmon stuff are located in
drivers/platform/x86 so it may be better to put it there, too.


Not really. If any of those other drivers are pure hwmon drivers, they
should reside in drivers/hwmon instead. And, yes, that really includes
the gigabyte-wmi driver. We don't have arbitrary drivers in drivers/pci
either just because they are drivers for pci devices.

One comment inline.

This should bind to the WMI bus instead of being a platform device.
See drivers/platform/x86/gigabyte-wmi.c

(Some goes also for the other driver)
