Hi, First of all, why don't you respond on the kernel bugzilla? Posting a fix here directly without communication doesn't look like a constructive help but more like a destructive attack to me. > From: linux-acpi-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-acpi- > Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Events: Execute some _REG methods in early boot > > The regression caused _REG methods to not be run in early boot for all > space IDs, but a removed comment stated that _REG methods should be > executed for IDs like embedded_controller.

Especially this commit: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8241421/ That's why I asked you to test again by applying the whole series. And that's why after having not seen your response for so long time, we prepared a test branch and was waiting for your response. You need to post acpidump there to have the issue root caused so that more accurate fix can be generated. > > After the regression the initialisation is not done and ODEBUG warnings > are shown at boot and/or shutdown: > > [ 6.676570] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3317 at lib/debugobjects.c:263 > debug_print_object+0x85/0xa0() > [ 6.676576] ODEBUG: assert_init not available (active state 0) object type: > timer_list hint: stub_timer+0x0/0x20 > [ 6.676578] Modules linked in: > [ 6.676582] CPU: 0 PID: 3317 Comm: ccpd Not tainted 4.5.0-rc6 #509 > [ 6.676584] Hardware name: Apple Inc.

IMO, if you want to stop regressions that are triggered by this commit. A simpler and proper way would be to move acpi_gbl_reg_method_enabled = TRUE to the end of acpi_load_tables(). So that when the order of table loading and ECDT probing is corrected, the correct logic can still apply. I don't have ECDT platforms in hand to confirm. Can you help to just give it a try?
