5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 1e3a2bc89de44ec34153ab1c1056346b51def250 ]
It may make sense to split the Microsoft Surface hardware platform drivers out to a separate subdirectory, since some of it may be shared between ARM and x86 in the future (regarding devices like the Surface Pro X).
Further, newer Surface devices will require additional platform drivers for fundamental support (mostly regarding their embedded controller), which may also warrant this split from a size perspective.
This commit introduces a new platform/surface subdirectory for the Surface device family, with subsequent commits moving existing Surface drivers over from platform/x86.
A new MAINTAINERS entry is added for this directory. Patches to files in this directory will be taken up by the platform-drivers-x86 team (i.e. Hans de Goede and Mark Gross) after they have been reviewed by Maximilian Luz.

Say Y here to get to see options for platform-specific device driversfor Microsoft Surface devices. This option alone does not add anykernel code.If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.diff --git a/drivers/platform/surface/Makefile b/drivers/platform/surface/Makefile new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..3700f9e84299e --- /dev/null +++ b/drivers/platform/surface/Makefile @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +# +# Makefile for linux/drivers/platform/surface +# Microsoft Surface Platform-Specific Drivers +#
Hi Greg,
This patch adds a new configuration with new empty directory "surface", this was for the follow up patches in this series[0], there is no code/compilation effect by this patch alone, this afaict shouldn't be a dependency for 61ce04601e0d ("platform/x86: dell_rbu: Fix list usage"). Was this mistakenly backported as a false dependency?
