From: "David E. Box" <david.e.box@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ACPICA commit 253e3c03efc1a495d2aa61eee09ab1d0842a3dce The control method auto-serialization can interfere with existing ASL code that makes use of Mutex/Method SyncLevel support. This change makes the auto-serialization transparent to the SyncLevel support and management. David Box. Link: https://github.com/acpica/acpica/commit/253e3c03 Signed-off-by: David E.
