Subject: sonypi: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e488b0af0216f40159cc19d5db1b614c80f5134;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

sonypi: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one

In all cases in which a struct acpi_driver is used for binding a driver
to an ACPI device object, a corresponding platform device is created by
the ACPI core and that device is regarded as a proper representation of
underlying hardware.  Accordingly, a struct platform_driver should be
used by driver code to bind to that device.  There are multiple reasons
why drivers should not bind directly to ACPI device objects [1].

Overall, it is better to bind drivers to platform devices than to their
ACPI companions, so convert the sonypi ACPI driver to a platform one.

While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs
layout and so it will be visible to user space.
