I'm wondering whether this should be in a different patch, maybe "ACPI: Check _STA present bit before making CPUs not present" ? Or maybe my brain isn't working properly (due to being Covid positive.) Any thoughts, Jonathan? -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
