ACPICA: disable _BIF warning

2008-11-27T07:17:30+00:00

A generic work-around from ACPICA is in the queue, but since Linux has a work-around in its battery driver, we can disable this warning now. Allow _BIF method to return an Package with Buffer elements http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11822 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Allow _WAK method to return an Integer

2008-11-27T06:55:13+00:00

This can happen if the _WAK method returns nothing (as per ACPI 1.0) but does return an integer if the implicit return mechanism is enabled. This is the only method that has this problem, since it is also defined to return a package of two integers (ACPI 1.0b+). In all other cases, if a method returns an object when one was not expected, no warning is issued. Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: New: Validation for predefined ACPI methods/objects

2008-10-23T03:14:49+00:00

Validates predefined ACPI objects that appear in the namespace, at the time they are evaluated. The argument count and the type of the returned object are validated. The purpose of this validation is to detect problems with the BIOS-exposed predefined ACPI objects before the results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers.
