SubjectRE: [PATCH 1/2] acpi,backlight: MSI S270 laptop support - ec_transaction()
Date
From

First of all, thanks for your patch.

>+static int acpi_ec_transaction(union acpi_ec *ec, u8 command,
>+ const u8 *wdata, unsigned wdata_len,
>+ u8 *rdata, unsigned rdata_len)

I agree the name: transaction sounds better than read/write, and
can reduce redundant code from separate read, write function.
But, I guess using argument : u8 address will make the patch
looks better.

It would be better to use a function pointer instead of
using if-lese statement which looks not so neat.

Due to missing argument: address, you have to pass address in
argument: wdata. This kind of code style is prone to error.

It would be more clear if there is argument : address.

why return -EINVAL if wdata_len == 0?

Thanks
