Queued up as a fix for 3.13 (I fixed up the indentation).
Ah, sorry, I missed this chunk of the thread. If the system provides
valid _BIF data then we should possibly just fall back to that rather
than adding another quirk table.
The problem is to know that _BIX is broken. If we could figure that out
upfront, we woulnd't need the quirk table in any case.
It's obvious that it is in this case - the package is the wrong size.
Then Tianyu should be able to come up with a better fix relatively easily. :-)
Hi Rafael&Matthew:
I think we can evaluate _BIX before setting ACPI_BATTERY_XINFO_PRESENT
flag. CA routine(acpi_ns_check_package) will check the package size and
return error code when there is wrong size package.
Something like this.
