Thank you for your work on this. It would be great if we can get better
support for the Surface line in the mainline kernel.
Since a lot of people have already commented on this series I think that
you have enough feedback to do a v2 addressing that feedback right?
For now I'm going to assume that you will do a v2 addressing the
initial round of comments and not review this myself (IOW I'll review
this when v2 is posted).
Let me know if you see things differently.
Regards,
Hans
