2012-07-31	Platform: OLPC: add a stub to drivers/platform/ for the OLPC EC driver	Andres Salomon
	The OLPC EC driver has outgrown arch/x86/platform/. It's time to both share common code amongst different architectures, as well as move it out of arch/x86/. The XO-1.75 is ARM-based, and the EC driver shares a lot of code with the x86 code.

2008-12-19	create drivers/platform/x86/ from drivers/misc/	Len Brown
	Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/ to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/. The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years. The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi. They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually implement the ACPI specification, but either simply use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions. In the future we anticipate... drivers/misc/ will go away. other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
