Do not use the surfacepro3_button driver on newer Microsoft Surface models, only use it on the Surface Pro 3 and 4. Newer models (5th, 6th and possibly future generations) use the same device as the Surface Pro 4 to represent their volume and power buttons (MSHW0040), but their actual implementation is significantly different. This patch ensures that the surfacepro3_button driver is only used on the Pro 3 and 4 models, allowing a different driver to bind on other models.Acked-by: Andy Shevchenko <redacted> assuming it will go thru Input subsystem.I can take it, but I do not think it is dependent on the other change and thus can go through platform tree as well.Pkease, take it. I do not expect any changes to the driver this cycle.
OK, applied, thank you. -- Dmitry
