From d4243cb08a272b6cc0f7c8293f9c7e128b51795c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 19:33:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iio: light: acpi-als: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one In all cases in which a struct acpi_driver is used for binding a driver to an ACPI device object, a corresponding platform device is created by the ACPI core and that device is regarded as a proper representation of underlying hardware. Accordingly, a struct platform_driver should be used by driver code to bind to that device. There are multiple reasons why drivers should not bind directly to ACPI device objects [1]. Overall, it is better to bind drivers to platform devices than to their ACPI companions, so convert the ACPI ambient light sensor driver to a platform one. After this change, the subordinate IIO device will be registered under the platform device used for driver binding instead of its ACPI companion. While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs layout and so it will be visible to user space.
