[PATCH 06/16] ACPICA: Do not use extended sleep registers unless HW-reduced bit is set

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

 



Previous implementation incorrectly used the ACPI 5.0 extended
sleep registers if they were simply populated. This caused
problems on some non-HW-reduced machines. As per the ACPI spec,
they should only be used if the HW-reduced bit is set.  Lv Zheng,
ACPICA BZ 1020.
