Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ACPI: workaround FADT always being revision 2
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:26:24 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444857985-28844-4-git-send-email-al.stone@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1444857985-28844-1-git-send-email-al.stone@linaro.org>
In some environments, the FADT revision number is always 2, independent
of any other factors indicating that it may be a newer revision. So,
we cannot rely on the FADT and MADT revisions being in proper sync. For
those environments, relax the checking so we only enforce the size check,
even if we do issue warnings on other problems.
If we do not relax the rules, these systems will not boot as they have in
the past.
