The Surface Aggregator EC provides varying functionality, depending on the Surface device. To manage this functionality, we use dedicated client devices for each subsystem or virtual device of the EC. While some of these clients are described as standard devices in ACPI and the corresponding client drivers can be implemented as platform drivers in the kernel (making use of the controller API already present), many devices, especially on newer Surface models, cannot be found there. To simplify management of these devices, we introduce a new bus and client device type for the Surface Aggregator subsystem. The new device type takes care of managing the controller reference, essentially guaranteeing its validity for as long as the client device exists, thus alleviating the need to manually establish device links for that purpose in the client driver (as has to be done with the platform devices).
