Sure, no problem. Checking it into my tree with /proc/acpi/sony is no different than what is in -mm today. When we push upstream, however, the /proc/acpi/sony part should be gone, or at least scheduled for removal. I suggest a sub CONFIG option under CONFIG_SONY_ACPI, say, CONFIG_SONY_ACPI_PROCFS so you can #ifdef the code that is going away. thanks for stepping forward Mattia, -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
