• b4f9fe121   ACPI: move wmi, asus_acpi, toshiba_acpi to drivers/platform/x86 ... Browse Code »

  These are platform specific drivers that happen to use ACPI,
  while drivers/acpi/ is for code that implements ACPI itself.

  Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
  to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.

  The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
  platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
  The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
  They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
  implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
  use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.

  In the future we anticipate...
  drivers/misc/ will go away.
  other architectures will create drivers/platform/
