Erik, can you please cut a patch for that against 4.19.35 and send it to Greg?I'm not sure what the process is for this case but here's the patch... Let me know if you need me to send it some other way... From a738f1c452c0762d3c0a1b1a9a12c78bd97b0a23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Schmauss <erik.schmauss@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 May 2019 17:25:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ACPICA: AML interpreter: add region addresses in global list during initialization" This reverts commit f8053df634d40c733f26ca49c2c3835002e61b77 that was unintentionally included as a part of the stable branch.
So to clarify, we're now just going to revert it? It's not needed in -stable? -- Thanks, Sasha
