Not sure why ACPI_PTR_* is not used elsewhere in drivers/acpi/tables.c Anyways for cacheinfo part of this file: Acked-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx> -- Regards, Sudeep -- 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
