Is this a good first patch for enabling screen rotation?

[Brock York]

Hello 

This is my first patch and after speaking to a few kernel
devs at LCA2015 I thought I would ask here for some advice on
if I have followed the newbie guide correctly.

The patch is to get automatic screen rotation working on a
acer iconia w500 tablet.

The patch was made against linux-next branch next-20150129
and successfully built and ran.

Do you think this is a succificient patch to get accepted by the
platform-x86 maintainers? I used get_maintainer.pl and it suggested
the platform-x86 mailing list.

Thank you, any help is much appreciated.
Regards Brock York.

BEGIN PATCH BELOW------------
Subject: [PATCH] acer-wmi: Enable screen auto-rotation via udev

Emit udev event via kobject_uevent when accelerometer position
is updated. This is to allow userspace to grab the accelerometer
position and rotate the screen accordingly.

Swap the x and y values and negate the x value converting the
accelerometers coordinate system into the coordinate system
userspace udev expects.

Accelerometer		Expected
Coordinates		Coordinates
        x+		    y+
        ^		    ^
        |		    |
        |		    |
 y+<----/		    /---->x+
       /		   /
      z+		  z+
