Hi, Rafael For this patch, I have a concern. > From: Rafael J. Wysocki [mailto:rjw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ACPICA: Make it possible to enable runtime GPEs earlier > > From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> > > Runtime GPEs have corresponding _Lxx/_Exx methods and are enabled > automatically during the initialization of the ACPI subsystem through > acpi_update_all_gpes() with the assumption that acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() > will be called in advance for all of the GPEs pointed to by _PRW > objects in the namespace that may be affected by acpi_update_all_gpes(). > That is, acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block() can only be called for a GPE > block after acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() has been called for all of the > _PRW (wakeup) GPEs in it. > > The platform firmware on some systems, however, expects GPEs to be > enabled before the enumeration of devices which is when > acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() is called and that goes against the above > assumption. > > For this reason, introduce a new flag to be set by > acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block() when automatically enabling a GPE > to indicate to acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() that it needs to drop the > reference to the GPE coming from acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block() > and modify acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() accordingly. These changes > allow acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() and acpi_ev_initialize_gpe_block() > to be invoked in any order. > > Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
