Subject: [RFT, PATCH v2 0/2] platform/x86: hp_accel: Clean up and convert

The pure ACPI drivers are not needed since we have a platform glue layer in
place. This allow to drop a lot of boiler plate code and duplication.

Patch 1 remove confusing call to _INI method and citing myself from v1:
  "Not sure what buys us to run _INI on PM calls. It's against the spec
   AFAICT. In any case ACPICA runs _INI as per specification when devices are
   instantiated."

Patch 2 converts to platform driver.

Both needs to be tested, that's why Hans mentioned Kai-Heng.

Changelog v2:
- split to two patches (Hans)
- Cc'ed to Kai-Heng (Hans)
- removed stale data structure field in the header file

Andy Shevchenko (2):
  platform/x86: hp_accel: Remove _INI method call
  platform/x86: hp_accel: Convert to be a platform driver
