The reason I'm a bit concerned about folding in the 20 byte limit is that I don't want to hit the case where we get a system with a bunch of GUIDs that only differ by the last 16 bytes and then fail to register the WMI driver. Although I suppose in the short term, we don't know of such systems, nor do we have any real WMI drivers for them anyway, so this might be an acceptable trade off. So if you think the risk is worth it, I'll fold in the bus_id limit. -Carlos -- E-Mail: carlos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web: strangeworlds.co.uk GPG Key ID: 0x23EE722D - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
