[PATCH v2 3/3] ACPI: a missing FACS table can be ignored under some circumstances

Fu Wei fu.wei at linaro.org
Tue Dec 2 17:35:46 UTC 2014


(1)Both of the FADT fields FIRMWARE_CTRL and X_FIRMWARE_CTRL
 are allowed to be null, if and only if ACPI is operating in hardware- reduced
 mode.
(2)If the ACPI tables are from before ACPI 5.0, or if ACPI is not
 operating in hardware-reduced mode, at least one of the FIRMWARE_CTRL or
 X_FIRMWARE_CTRL fields _must_ be non-null.

This patch corrects the logic to ensure that a missing FACS is only
allowed under the proper circumstances.
