Thanks for applying it. However, the patch landed with the following
commit message:

commit 03f9b1938b163cc09306b3ba17c4bb701abf079d
Author: Robert Moore <Robert.Moore(a)intel.com>

    acpixtract: Replace an "int" with "unsigned int"

    The variable is used with %u printf, causing a warning via a
    static analysis tool. Reported by Colin Ian King.

This is a misrepresentation. I fixed it. Not just reported it. I know it
is a minor thing, but re-working the commit message in such a
disingenuous way as to take credit away from authors makes me want to no
longer contribute to ACPICA.  This has not been the first time credit on
fixes has been misrepresented "by accident" by re-working the commit
messages.
