Lennart,
Your s270 platform driver needs a different home in the source tree outside of drivers/acpi/, and the patch that adds it must add an entry to MAINTAINERS.
lcd brightness platform support should talk to the existing backlight stuff under sysfs.
wlan and bluetooth indicators/controls need to appear under generic places under sysfs -- not under platform specific files under /proc/acpi.
Yes, the existing platform specific drivers such as asus, toshiba, and ibm are bad examples.
