Yes, sounds reasonable. The patch is needed, but MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE should be ripped out. AFAIK sonypi and sony-laptop cannot coexist together. But sony-acpi should be preferred. If someone needs sonypi, he needs to blacklist sony-apci in modprobe.conf and load sonypi manually. Shouldn't sony-acpi replace sonypi on longterm or at least addtional "SNY6001" functionality be merged to sony-acpi? Having two drivers for the same device is not a good idea.
