[LTP] ACPI test

[LTP] ACPI test

[alexey.kodanev]

Hi All!

I'm reviewing Linux Test Project's test concerning ACPI and a little bit 
lost with the following test: 
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/tree/master/testcases/kernel/device-drivers/acpi. 
It's quite outdated...

Pardon my technical knowledge on this subject but could you guide me to 
solve the following questions about the test and ACPI:

* Is it necessary to use block device to test ACPI functionality as test 
does?

* How can I verify data which I get from acpi_driver_data() using random 
acpi device handle? The test is using its own 'acpi_ec' structure and 
trying to cast return void pointer from that function to it, but in the 
kernel, this structure is slightly different and defined internally.

May be you have some thoughts how ACPI test should look like? Any help 
is appreciated.

Many thanks,
Alexey

I guess that we are being ignored, that is sad.

Let's commit at least the patch that makes the code compile and left it
there for now. Perhaps somebody will come and do something with the code
later. Are you OK with that?
