Why to you want to remove the platform device ? If you want to create a sysfs interface later, you'll probably need it. Most of the platform driver I know only use the acpi_device to send proc/netlink events and the platform_device is used everywhere else. (And anyway, it's an x86 *platform* driver, not a pure acpi driver). > Also eliminates most global > variables, moving them into toshiba_acpi_dev, along with some > other miscellaneous fixes and cleanup. Good ! Next step would be to deprecate the /proc interface (keeping it for compatibility) and adding a new shinny /sys/platform/device/toshiba-acpi/ interface correctly documented in Documentation/ABI/ :).
