Subject: x86/ACPI/boot: Use FADT version to check support for online capable
From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@xxxxxxx>
commit a74fabfbd1b7013045afc8cc541e6cab3360ccb5 upstream.
ACPI 6.3 introduced the online capable bit, and also introduced MADT
version 5.
Latter was used to distinguish whether the offset storing online capable
could be used. However ACPI 6.2b has MADT version "45" which is for
an errata version of the ACPI 6.2 spec. This means that the Linux code
for detecting availability of MADT will mistakenly flag ACPI 6.2b as
supporting online capable which is inaccurate as it's an ACPI 6.3 feature.
Instead use the FADT major and minor revision fields to distinguish this.
