Hi Darren, Thanks for the comments. I will send a new version with more information.
I believe it is better to have a new driver as it seems OEM can depreciate and (probably is depreciating) old features and existing IDs. Especially, a lot of BIOS features are moving to be handled by OS and userspace applications. I expect to see more simple ACPI devices to be handled by simple drivers. Combining devices with different purposes into a single complex driver can be misleading. Hi Matthew, Thanks for clarifying it for me.
