Will those drivers be loaded before the acpi namespace is scanned? if not, I think those IDs already cached, in acpi_init_device_object(), INIT_LIST_HEAD(&device->pnp.ids); ... acpi_set_pnp_ids(handle, &device->pnp, type); please see API acpi_device_hid(), so I think you can introduce a API with acpi_device and HID passed as arguments in scan.c Thanks Hanjun -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
