Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] arm64: acpi: Enable ACPI CCEL support
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2025 13:56:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250918125618.2125733-4-suzuki.poulose@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250918125618.2125733-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>
Add support for ACPI CCEL by handling the EfiACPIMemoryNVS type memory.
As per UEFI specifications NVS memory is reserved for Firmware use even
after exiting boot services. Thus map the region as read-only.
