Hi Ike,

I'm sorry to say this, bit it looks like your design is seriously 
flowed. Not any ACPI device should
require interception of EC query events.

You should register device for HID "ATK0101" and get all notifications 
there, as it is done for
for ASUS ATK0100 hot key driver (drivers/platform/x86/asus-laptop.c), 
and I would guess,
that driver for ASUS ATK0101 hot key driver may be either an extension 
to ATK0100 driver
or based on it, if new device does not share any events.
This would be real solution, and not a hack for a single notebook/BIOS 
version.
 From the DSDT it is obvious that _Q numbers are not permanent and could 
change even
with the next BIOS revision.

You may also contact current maintainer of asus-laptop driver, Corentin 
Chary, as he might help you with design.

Regards,
Alex.
