Thank you for the patch.

The Kconfig bits for this should be in drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig please move them there.

Please send a new version with that change with the contents of the patch actually in the body of the email so that we can quoute it while replying for review purposes.

Please use git send-email on the .patch file to submit the next version, e.g. :

git send-email Silicom-Platform-Driver.patch

Do NOT copy and paste the contents of the patch to your email client to send it, this will mangle the patch and make it unusable.

Once we have a submission with the patch content in the body of the email (with git send-email) then I'll try to make time to do a more thorough review.

Regards,

Hans
