The currently upstream version of acpi_check_dsm doesn't handle this
case, it assumes at least one function other than zero is also being
returned (as it assumes bit 0 is set.)
Instead of the proposed change we should have something like:
index 22c0995..3ecf462 100644
--- a/drivers/acpi/utils.c
+++ b/drivers/acpi/utils.c
@@ -702,6 +702,9 @@ bool acpi_check_dsm(acpi_handle handle, const u8 *uuid, u64 rev, u64 funcs)
if ((mask & 0x1) && (mask & funcs) == funcs)
return true;
+ if ((mask == 0) && (funcs == 1))
+ return true;
+
return false;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(acpi_check_dsm);
