Introduce a new helper to extract a year from DMI BIOS date since there are most existing users do and newcomers would utilize as well. Ingo, this is respin of the patches in x86/platform. I think, if it's possible to rebase, would be easier just to replace existing ones. Otherwise I would reorganize them as a series of fixups. Bjorn, Jean, Rafael, thank you for your reviews! Since v1: - move the helper to be regular function (Bjorn, Rafael) - fix a potential regression introduced in pci_acpi_crs_quirks() (Jean) - adjust subject lines and commit message bodies (Bjorn) - add tags (Bjorn, Jean) Andy Shevchenko (4): firmware: dmi_scan: Introduce the dmi_get_bios_year() helper x86/PCI: Simplify code by using the new dmi_get_bios_year() helper ACPI / sleep: Simplify code by using the new dmi_get_bios_year() helper PCI: Simplify code by using the new dmi_get_bios_year() helper arch/x86/pci/acpi.c | 10 +++++----- arch/x86/pci/direct.c | 5 ++--- arch/x86/pci/mmconfig-shared.c | 9 ++------- drivers/acpi/sleep.c | 4 +--- drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c | 11 +++++++++++ drivers/pci/pci.c | 6 +----- include/linux/dmi.h | 2 ++ 7 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) -- 2.16.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
