[PATCH 33/65] ACPICA: Disable preservation of SCI enable bit (SCI_EN)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>

Preserving this bit breaks some machines. Not preserving this bit
seems to work OK in all cases, even though this goes against the
ACPI spec.
