(Changelog stolen from Alan's patch for eeepc-laptop, but this patch does the same thing for asus-laptop) Callback methods should not refer to a variable like "asus" (formally "hotk"). Instead, they should extract the data they need either from a "driver data" parameter, or the "driver data" field of the object which they operate on. The "asus" variable can then be removed. In practice, drivers under "drivers/platform" can get away without using driver data, because it doesn't make sense to have more than one instance of them. However this makes it harder to review them for correctness. This is especially true for core ACPI developers who have not previously been exposed to this anti-pattern :-). This will serve as an example of best practice for new driver writers (whether they find it themselves, or have it pointed out during review :-).
