This is ACPICA code which comes from a separate project.
The way to change it is to submit a pull request with the desired change
to the upstream ACPICA project on GitHub and add a Link tag pointing
to the upstream PR to the corresponding Linux patch. Then, the Linux
patch can only be applied after the corresponding upstream PR has been
merged.
Thanks!
