I think this is really interesting.

Also explain what this stuff is: drivers/platform/chrome/* and why it is
so necessarily different and can't live in existing subsystems?

Also: your experience with using ACPI and when firmware can be
fixed and when it can not, and when/if the kernel has to accommodate
quirks rather than fixing the firmware.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
