Thank you for this patch series. Since there have already been a whole
bunch of review-comments, I've not taken a detailed look at this yet.

I do wonder if you have thought about how this series should be merged?
This series is spread over quite a few subsytems and since there are
various interdependencies in the patches it is probably best if it gets
merged in its entirety through a single tree.

I guess that merging though either Rafael's (drivers/acpi) tree or
Lee's (drivers/mfd) tree makes the most sense.

As drivers/platform/x86 maintainer I'm happy with whatever solution
works for the other subsystem maintainers.

Regards,

Hans
