platform/x86: classmate-laptop: Convert keys driver to a platform one
In all cases in which a struct acpi_driver is used for binding a driver to an ACPI device object, a corresponding platform device is created by the ACPI core and that device is regarded as a proper representation of underlying hardware. Accordingly, a struct platform_driver should be used by driver code to bind to that device. There are multiple reasons why drivers should not bind directly to ACPI device objects [1]. Overall, it is better to bind drivers to platform devices than to their ACPI companions, so convert cmpc_keys_acpi_driver in the Classmate laptop driver from an ACPI driver to a platform one. After this change, the input device registered by the driver will appear under the platform device used for driver binding. While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs layout and so it will be visible to user space.
