And in this case it is not good to use name from one specific functionality. And about name: I chose name rbtn for dell driver because ACPI device in DSDT table is named RBTN and acpi id is DELRBTN. I think that acpi-rbtn.c (radio button) is not ideal name for driver which at SW level controls LED device associated with wireless devices. I would rather follow acpi device name, but in this case ATK4001 is even worse name which does not say anything... Maybe better name could be asus-wireless? Still I do not have any good name, so choose something... -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
