From: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx On some boxes several processors use the same processor bus id. But they are located in different scope. For example: \_SB.SCK0.CPU0 \_SB.SCK1.CPU0 As they use the same bus id, it can't be registered when registering proc I/F. It causes that the ACPI processor driver can't be bound with the processor device. Rename the processor device bus id. And the new bus id will be generated as the following format: CPU+ CPU ID For example: If the cpu ID is 5, then the bus ID will be "CPU5". If the CPU ID is 10, then the bus ID will be "CPUA".
