41b16dce39 create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/
Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.

The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.

In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>

709ee531c1 panasonic-laptop: add Panasonic Let's Note laptop extras driver v0.94
This is a driver for ACPI extras such as hotkeys and backlight
brightness control on various Panasonic "Let's Note" series laptop
computers.

It exports the backlight via the backlight class device API,
and the hotkeys as input event device.  Some more esoteric
items like number of installed batteries are exported via sysfs
device attributes.

Hotkey events also generate old-style ACPI enents through
/proc/acpi/event to interoperate with current versions of acpid.
