[PATCH] Make it possible to disable efivar_ssdt entirely

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In most cases, such as CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT and
CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE, boot-time modifications to firmware tables
are tied to specific Kconfig options.  Currently this is not the case
for modifying the ACPI SSDT via the efivar_ssdt kernel command line
option and associated EFI variable.

This patch adds CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS, which defaults
disabled, in order to allow enabling or disabling that feature during
the build.
