I'd prefer if you left the include outside of thinkpad_acpi.h, and just fix the include in the two ALSA users.
Agreed.
We might add some extra stuff to thinkpad_acpi.h someday, and not everything thinkpad_acpi does that might be useful to export to other areas of the kernel would require acpi.h.
Looking at patch_conexant and patch_realtek, it might be better to actually move the "am I running on a thinkpad" stuff they use acpi.h for into thinkpad_acpi, and provide a prototype for that in thinkpad_acpi.h.
True, but we don't want to bind with thinkpad_acpi before identified that it's a thinkpad, so the code needs to be in hd-audio codec driver.
It looks to me like that there is a relationship between two Henrique's suggestions. His opinion is all ACPI stuff should be bound into thinkpad_acpi.c, that's why he suggested not to include <linux/acpi.h> in <linux/thinkpad_acpi.h>. So we might address both of them in order to follow.
I'm not sure if your opinion is: the hd-audio codec driver's needs cannot be met by addressing the second comment. And I'm not the right person that is able to test such code restructuring work. The target of this patchset is cleaning up wrong <acpi/acpi.h> inclusions, so let me focus on the first comment.
Can I just update this patch with <acpi/acpi.h> inclusions replaced by <linux/acpi.h> inclusions?
Thanks and best regards -Lv
thanks,
Takashi
