Hmm, what exactly do you think _must_ be changed?
Most of your comments are addressed in 4 patches I sent to you and Greg.

SuperIO and kobject_uevent are also dropped as far as I can see.

Acrypto is being reviewed but it also depends on it, although=20
it takes to much time, probably will be dropped too.

Proper w1 notification also requires connector.
