According commit d640113fe(ACPI: processor: fix acpi_get_cpuid for UP processor), Bios may not provide _MAT or MADT tables and acpi_get_apicid() always returns -1. For these cases, original code will pass apic_id with vaule of -1 to acpi_map_cpuid() and it will check the acpi_id. If acpi_id is equal to zero, ignores apic_id and return zero for CPU0. Commit b981513(ACPI / scan: bail out early if failed to parse APIC ID for CPU) changed the behavior. Return ENODEV when find apic_id is less than zero after calling acpi_get_apicid(). This causes acpi-cpufreq driver fails to be loaded on some machines. This patch is to fix it.
