I'm on vacation and don't have time to read the new winbond driver
right now, but maybe it could be changed so that wbcir_shutdown()
is an internal function called by wbcir_suspend() (as it is already)
and wbcir_remove().

I hate to re-introduce .shutdown when it's only used by a single
driver.  That makes me think either we have a bunch of drivers that
are buggy because they *should* have .shutdown methods but don't,
or the single user of .shutdown doesn't have a real dependency on it.

The winbond driver does not use any ACPI-specific functionality, so
it might be simpler to write it as a PNP driver (which would depend
on PNPACPI, of course).

Nice looking driver, by the way.  Even from a cursory glance it's
obvious that you've taken a lot of care with it.
