Amazing the amount of ACPI RDSP parsing and fiddling patches flying
around these days...

In any case, this needs to be synchronized with:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190107032243.25324-1-fanc.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com

and checked whether the above can be used instead of sprinkling of ACPI
parsing code left and right.

Thx.
