The acpi_pad driver uses struct acpi_driver to register itself while it would be more logically consistent to use struct platform_driver for this purpose, because the corresponding platform device is present and the role of struct acpi_device is to amend the other bus types. ACPI devices are not meant to be used as proper representation of hardware entities, but to collect information on those hardware entities provided by the platform firmware. Use struct platform_driver for registering the acpi_pad driver. Suggested-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
