           Summary: Regression issue with external-global-acpi_update.dpatch
                    - detecting C2/C3 states for systems without CST
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: fabbione at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: Peter_Pregler at email.com
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


The respective acpi-update has a regression issue with detecting C2/C3 states
for systems without CST. Either pull in an updated version from the ACPI-tree or
apply the patch below. With the current dpatch C2/C3 states stop working on some
laptops. Actually, pulling in patches and not even given the status or time of
the pull in the patch (see DP-lines) is a quite risky approach. Ubuntu-breezy
should not be a regression-repository for acpi-patches, IMHO.

Re-enable C2/C3 states for systems without CST.  Fixes a regression after
the patch for C2/C3 support for multiprocessors
(http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4401), which accidentally removed
the acpi_processor_power_verify() call.
