Thanks for the feedback and the idea. I guess we need something like: if (device->status.present) return device->device_type != ACPI_BUS_TYPE_PROCESSOR || device->status.enabled; else return device->status.functional; so we only check device->status.enabled for processor-type devices? -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
