Hi Darren,

Thank you very much for all your reviews.

Sure, I'll prepare the patch.

Should it be submitted in two different patches (remove in git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git; and add in
git://git.infradead.org/users/dvhart/linux-platform-drivers-x86.git)?
Or in one patch, in  git://git.infradead.org/users/dvhart/linux-platform-drivers-x86.git?

Thanks,
Vadim.
