Unless someone can point to a platform driver that is in the upstream kernel where this is actually a problem, the answer is: yes. For that matter, unless someone can do the same for pm_power_off overriding efi_reboot() (which on x86 would only happen for ACPI HW-reduced platforms), I would be much prefer the original patch, where you had, bool efi_poweroff_reqired(voi) { return acpi_gbl_reduced_hardware || acpi_no_s5; } since you've already explained that this change won't break legacy platforms that are missing _S5 (if any even exist in the wild). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
