Subject: [18/49] ACPICA: Fix Scope() op in module level code
Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2011 15:00:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110105230325.274082083@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110105230438.GA26241@kroah.com>

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com>

commit 8df3fc981dc12d9fdcaef4100a2193b605024d7a upstream.

Some Panasonic Toughbooks create nodes in module level code.
Module level code is the executable AML code outside of control method,
for example, below AML code creates a node \_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02.CUBL

        If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
        {
            Scope (\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02)
            {
                Name (CUBL, Ones)
                ...
            }
        }

Scope() op does not actually create a new object, it refers to an
existing object(\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02 in above example). However, for
Scope(), we want to indeed open a new scope, so the child nodes(CUBL in
above example) can be created correctly under it.
