-13) When to use Acked-by:
 
-The Signed-off-by: tag indicates that the signer was involved in the
-development of the patch, or that he/she was in the patch's delivery path.
-
-If a person was not directly involved in the preparation or handling of a
-patch but wishes to signify and record their approval of it then they can
-arrange to have an Acked-by: line added to the patch's changelog.
-
-Acked-by: is often used by the maintainer of the affected code when that
-maintainer neither contributed to nor forwarded the patch.
-
-Acked-by: is not as formal as Signed-off-by:.  It is a record that the acker
-has at least reviewed the patch and has indicated acceptance.  Hence patch
-mergers will sometimes manually convert an acker's "yep, looks good to me"
-into an Acked-by:.
-
-Acked-by: does not necessarily indicate acknowledgement of the entire patch.
-For example, if a patch affects multiple subsystems and has an Acked-by: from
-one subsystem maintainer then this usually indicates acknowledgement of just
-the part which affects that maintainer's code.  Judgement should be used here.
- When in doubt people should refer to the original discussion in the mailing
-list archives.

-Legacy Drivers:  Device Probing
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Some drivers are not fully converted to the driver model, because they take
-on a non-driver role:  the driver registers its platform device, rather than
-leaving that for system infrastructure.  Such drivers can't be hotplugged
-or coldplugged, since those mechanisms require device creation to be in a
-different system component than the driver.
-
-The only "good" reason for this is to handle older system designs which, like
-original IBM PCs, rely on error-prone "probe-the-hardware" models for hardware
-configuration.  Newer systems have largely abandoned that model, in favor of
-bus-level support for dynamic configuration (PCI, USB), or device tables
-provided by the boot firmware (e.g. PNPACPI on x86).  There are too many
-conflicting options about what might be where, and even educated guesses by
-an operating system will be wrong often enough to make trouble.
-
-This style of driver is discouraged.  If you're updating such a driver,
-please try to move the device enumeration to a more appropriate location,
-outside the driver.  This will usually be cleanup, since such drivers
-tend to already have "normal" modes, such as ones using device nodes that
-were created by PNP or by platform device setup.
-
-None the less, there are some APIs to support such legacy drivers.  Avoid
-using these calls except with such hotplug-deficient drivers.
-
-	struct platform_device *platform_device_alloc(
-			char *name, unsigned id);
-
-You can use platform_device_alloc() to dynamically allocate a device, which
-you will then initialize with resources and platform_device_register().
-A better solution is usually:
-
-	struct platform_device *platform_device_register_simple(
-			char *name, unsigned id,
-			struct resource *res, unsigned nres);
-
-You can use platform_device_register_simple() as a one-step call to allocate
-and register a device.
