Thanks overall this looks pretty good.

Please address the review-remarks from Barnabás.

I also have 2 small remarks myself:

1. See the remark inline below.

2. I ran checkpatch on the patch and it found several issues,
   I'll copy and paste the output to the end of this email,
   please address these issues.

   And if possible run scripts/checkpatch.pl yourself to
   verify the issues are fixed.

Since you are using pr_info() / pr_err() please add:

#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt

This will automatically prefix all pr_*() calls with

"msi-ec: "

<snip>

> +	pr_err("Your firmware version is not supported!\n");

So this will then now get automatically prefixed.

And this too.

And you can drop the manual "msi-ec: " prefixing here then.

And drop it here too.

      mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.

0001-platform-x86-Add-new-msi-ec-driver.patch has style problems, please review.

NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
      them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
