It's time to remove it from keymap now, I have done some job in the
video_output subdriver for this event ;)

okay, will split the hwmon driver out and send it to lm-sensors mailing
list.

Yes, a switch for turning off/on the backlight, seems no need to report
this key to the users, will remove it too.

get it, thanks!

I have checked the return value in the module init function:

[...]

yeeloong_init()
{
	[...]
        ret = yeeloong_hotkey_init(&yeeloong_pdev->dev);
        if (ret) {
                yeeloong_hotkey_exit();
                printk(KERN_INFO "Fail init yeeloong hotkey driver.\n");
                return ret;
        }
	[...]

}

[...]

static void yeeloong_hotkey_exit(void)
{
        /* free irq */
        remove_irq(SCI_IRQ_NUM, &sci_irqaction);
	 ...
}

but as a standalone driver, It's better to do something as following:

if (!yeeloong_hotkey_dev) {
	yeeloong_hotkey_exit();
	return -ENOMEM;
}

Thanks & Regards!
