5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit edef1ef134180149694b86386277076f566d165c upstream. As per the ACPI specification, "Guaranteed Performance Register" is a "Buffer" field and it cannot be "Integer", so treat the "Integer" type for "Guaranteed Performance Register" field as invalid and ignore its value in that case. Also save one cpc_read() call when "Guaranteed Performance Register" is not present, which means a register defined as: "Register(SystemMemory, 0, 0, 0, 0)".
