Perfect, thanks! I'll draft up a patch series over the weekend.

A couple questions regarding structure and maintenance:

- Should I CC the platform-driver-x86 list on future submissions to
drivers/platform/surface? I.e. is this something you would want to
review if it doesn't touch the drivers/platform/x86 directory?

- How would you want the layout to be, specifically regarding to the
surface-aggregator stuff? My suggestion would be simply:

drivers/platform/surface/
surface_aggregator/
Kconfig
Makefile
core.c
controller.c
... (all core stuff built into the surface_aggregator module)
Kconfig
Makefile
surface_aggregator_debugfs.c
surface_acpi_notify.c
surface_*.c (any other surface platform driver as well
as drivers dependent on surface_aggregator)

- Regarding future things like HID transport driver, battery/AC driver:
Submit them to drivers/platform/surface or to their respective
subsystem directories?

Thanks,
Max
