Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.

Once I've run some tests on the review-ilpo branch the patches
there will be added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch
and eventually will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to
Linus for the next merge-window.
