Re: [PATCH v3] platform/wmi: Move ASUS platform drivers from x86 to wmi/asus

Hi Armin, Hans, and all,

I tried moving the ASUS-related platform drivers from
drivers/platform/x86 to a dedicated drivers/platform/asus/
directory. Most drivers compile successfully after this
restructuring, except for asus-armoury.c, which depends on
firmware_attributes_class currently defined in
drivers/platform/x86/firmware_attributes_class.c.

I found that Sean Rhodes has submitted a similar change to
move the firmware attributes class:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ar0DNFlI7MEA8zp2@tzungbi-laptop/

The patch has been applied to the Chrome Platform tree's
for-firmware-next branch, but I haven't found a corresponding
pull request to Linus' tree.

Is this change expected to be sent to mainline for an
upcoming merge window?

Best regards,
Chipang Kao
