Hi, for WMI drivers the list platform-driver-x86@vger.kernel.org should probably be on CC too. Also all other WMI drivers, even for hwmon stuff are located in drivers/platform/x86 so it may be better to put it there, too.
Not really. If any of those other drivers are pure hwmon drivers, they should reside in drivers/hwmon instead. And, yes, that really includes the gigabyte-wmi driver. We don't have arbitrary drivers in drivers/pci either just because they are drivers for pci devices. Guenter
