Because ACPICA is an external project supplying code to the Linux
kernel, the way to change the ACPICA code in the kernel is to submit a
pull request to the upstream ACPICA project on GitHub and once that PR
has been merged, submit a Linux patch corresponding to it including
the Link: tag pointing to the PR in question and the git ID of the
corresponding upstream ACPICA commit.
However, note that upstream ACPICA changes are applied to the Linux
kernel source code every time the upstream ACPICA project makes a
release, so it is not necessary to send the corresponding Linux
patches for them unless in the cases when timing matters.
