You mean have it call acpi_quirk_skip_gpio_event_handlers(), or you mean extend the DMI matchs inside drivers/gpio/gpiolib-acpi.c to cover these cases ? These devices with severely broken DSDTs already need a bunch of other acpi handling quirks. So the idea is to re-use the existing quirk mechanism for these to avoid having to have DMI match table entries for a single model in various different places. > P.S. Why do we lock an IRQ before checking acpi_gpio_in_ignore_list() and > why do we not free that if the IRQ is in ignore list? The idea was to do the test after other things which can fail, so that if there are other reasons to skip the GPIO we don't do the test + dev_xxx msg. But you are right, we should either unlock it when ignoring it, or move the acpi_gpio_in_ignore_list() list check up. I guess just moving the check up is better, shall I prepare a patch for this?
