The registration is driver-wide. The input events are specific for the hotkey subdriver. Other subdrivers will also use the input device, etc. And, unless requested, I really go with small and very obvious patches. Makes it really, really easy to fix and review. Of course the rule that "the driver must compile *and work* fine at every patch set" to keep it bissect friendly has higher priority. > > static struct platform_device *tpacpi_pdev = NULL; > > static struct class_device *tpacpi_hwmon = NULL; > > +static struct input_dev *tpacpi_inputdev = NULL; > > Why do you initialize static variables? They are guaranteed to be 0/NULL. Usually just to shut up gcc. I will try to remove all initializers and see if gcc 4.1.2 still complains. If it doesn't, I will remove all of them in the entire driver. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
