Odd, why is a sonypi patch in the drivers-x86 tree?

	$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/char/sonypi.c
	Mattia Dongili <malattia@...ux.it> (maintainer:SONY VAIO CONTROL DEVICE DRIVER)
	Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de> (supporter:CHAR and MISC DRIVERS)
	Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> (supporter:CHAR and MISC DRIVERS)
	platform-driver-x86@...r.kernel.org (open list:SONY VAIO CONTROL DEVICE DRIVER)
	linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list)

As I'm still listed as being in charge of this, that's why I took it...

Anyway, not a big issue, duplicate for it should be fine.

thanks,
