[PATCH 4/9] ACPICA: Events: Remove acpi_ev_enable_gpe().

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

 



The stale GPE indication is not a problem. Drivers should always check the
underlying hardware status and be ready to handle invalid status.

The GPE clearing implemented in acpi_ev_enable_gpe() on the contrary
introduces issues for acpi_enable_gpe() logic. When the usage count of GPE is
increased by suspend/resume code, GPE status shouldn't be cleared, or a GPE
loss could happen when the driver relies on the interrupt mode.

With previous cleanup, all acpi_ev_enable_gpe() usages are removed, this patch
also removes this internal API. Lv Zheng.
