I was planning on having the EDAC driver(s) that need this do a select ACPI_ADXL That way the tinification people are happy, and distros that include EDAC will set it without any other changes. > > +#define ACPI_ADXL_PATH "\\_SB.ADXL" > > It would be good to add a comment to say where the ADXL object is > defined. Can you expand on what you want here? My naive ACPI knowledge thought that "\\_SB.ADXL" was a "pathname" saying that the ADXL device is part of the "SB" (is that System Board?). Are you asking which platforms include this? Qiuxu has tested this. So I can re-post to linux-acpi for any other comments from the community. Procedure question. If you like this, can you "Ack" it and let Boris take it through his tree. The changes to the Skylake EDAC driver are dependent on this, so we need to have the commits apply in the right order.
