Re: ACPI to driver connection

From: Pavel Machek <hidden>

Hi!
I'm currently writing a driver for a sd card reader. This reader is 
present in the ACPI DSDT tree and can be identified there using the EISA 
PNP id. I'm not all too familiar with exactly how ACPI works and even 
less how ACPI works on linux so my question is this. Is there anything 
my driver should do to associate the entries in the DSDT with the 
device? Perhaps there are methods that should be called or similar? I do 
not have the time to study ACPI in detail so I'd appreciate any help.
See for example battery.c driver -- it detects battery based on PNP
id.
