[Lv Zheng] I can help to port your code to the ACPICA upstream. Rafael can help to merge the linuxized ported patch and the PATCH 2/2 if you want this solution to be upstreamed now. Or you can wait and submit PATCH 2/2 again. PATCH 1/2 should be a part of ACPICA 201603xx release I think. Thanks and best regards -Lv
