Thanks for the review Hans, I'll send a new version with some adjustments. > Note this is just a preference you keen keep this as is > if you want, I liked the Ilpo suggestion, with two 'gotos' is eliminated repeated code. If everything is ok, I prefer it this way.

Please add an is_visible callback and retuern 0 (not visible) when auxmac[0] == 0; See existing is_visible code for some examples. > + > + obj = buffer.pointer; > + > + if (obj->type != ACPI_TYPE_STRING || obj->string.length != AUXMAC_STRLEN) { > + pr_info("Invalid buffer for MAC address pass-through.\n"); > + goto auxmacinvalid; > + } > + > + if (obj->string.pointer[AUXMAC_BEGIN_MARKER] != '#' || > + obj->string.pointer[AUXMAC_END_MARKER] != '#') { > + pr_info("Invalid header for MAC address pass-through.\n"); > + goto auxmacinvalid; > + } > + > + if (strncmp(obj->string.pointer + AUXMAC_START, "XXXXXXXXXXXX", AUXMAC_LEN) != 0) > + strscpy(auxmac, obj->string.pointer + AUXMAC_START, AUXMAC_LEN + 1); Please use sizeof(auxmac) as last parameter to strscpy() here. > + else > + strscpy(auxmac, "disabled", AUXMAC_LEN); Please use sizeof(auxmac) as last parameter to strscpy() here. Also note how you pass 2 different dest-sizes for the same dest buffer before, which looks weird ... > + > +free: > + kfree(obj); > + return 0; > + > +auxmacinvalid: > + strscpy(auxmac, "unavailable", AUXMAC_LEN); > + goto free; > +} I'm not liking the goto dance here, I would prefer: kfree(obj); return 0; auxmacinvalid: strscpy(auxmac, "unavailable", AUXMAC_LEN); kfree(obj); return 0; It is quite normal for an error-exit path to repeat a kfree(). Note this is just a preference you keen keep this as is if you want, but to me the goto free which jumps up looks pretty weird.
