The EliteBook 8560W has non-initialized entries in its _PSS ACPI
table. Instead of bailing out when the first non-initialized entry is
found, ignore it and use only  the valid entries. Only bail out if there
is no valid entry at all.

Is that safe? Meaning re-use the other CPU's _PSS states? Perhaps the
warning at the end should say: "Trying to compensate by using the
other CPU's PSS state).

Swap it around or just do it this way:

if (last_invalid < 0)

So if _PSS that is missing is at CPU2, this own't print it.

I think you want 'if (last_invalid >= 0)'

And you should mention which CPU has it busted - as there are
some that are working.

Don't you want 'last_invalid >= 0' ?

This case in question was created by HP removing the overclock options
and leaving the entries in a invalid/empty situation. In this specific
case, it is safe.
I am not changing the table in any way, I just ignore the
non-initialized entries. The code only use listed states. If they are
CPU bound, the code doesn't assume anything.

I don't get what do you mean by CPU. last_invalid is just the last
invalid _PSS entry item. Nothing to do with the CPU.

>

No, it is correct. If the last invalid found item is the item 0, than
it means that no valid item was found.

No CPU here, just the _PSS item.

No. It is correct. If the last invalid item is greater than 0, then
there was at least 1 valid _PSS entry. And the count of valid entries
is the same as the last_invalid variable.

The loop is based on CPU, oh wait. Not this loop. You are right - ignore
that comment please.

I somehow thought that the 'i' was for the for_each_possible(cpu), but
that is another funtion.

Add pr->id - that will tell us which of the _PSS entries is defective.

The EliteBook 8560W has non-initialized entries in its _PSS ACPI
table. Instead of bailing out when the first non-initialized entry is
found, ignore it and use only  the valid entries. Only bail out if there
is no valid entry at all.
