e8707b340f ACPICA: New: Validation for predefined ACPI methods/objects
Validates predefined ACPI objects that appear in the namespace,
at the time they are evaluated. The argument count and the type of
the returned object are validated. The purpose of this validation
is to detect problems with the BIOS-exposed predefined ACPI objects
before the results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers.

b9d1312ad4 ACPICA: Fix for implicit return compatibility
Predicate can be used for an implicit return value.
This change improves the implicit return mechanism to be more
compatible with the MS interpreter.

http://www.acpica.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=349

Below AML code from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10686

	Store(0x07D6, OSYS)
	Method (_CRT, 0, Serialized)
	{
	    If (LLess (OSYS, 0x07D6))
	    {
		If (LEqual (\_SB.TJ85, Zero))
		{
		    Return (Add (0x0AAC, Multiply (TPC, 0x0A)))
		}
		Else
		{
		    Return (Add (0x0AAC, Multiply (TP85, 0x0A)))
		}
	    }
	}

Previously _CRT returns 0x07D6, now it returns 0 (predicate value of LLess)

39a0ad8710 ACPI : Load device driver according to the status of acpi device

but functional, the device is valid and the children of this device
should be enumerated. It means that the device should be added to
linux acpi device tree. But the device driver for this device should not
be loaded.
    The detailed info can be found in the section 6.3.7 of ACPI 3.0b spec.
    _STA may return bit 0 clear (not present) with bit 3 set (device is
functional). This case is used to indicate a valid device for which no
device driver should be loaded (for example, a bridge device.).
Children of this device may be present and valid. OS should continue
enumeration below a device whose _STA returns this bit combination

f5adfaa372 ACPI: Add "acpi.power_nocheck=1" to disable power state check in power transition
Maybe the incorrect power state is returned on the bogus bios, which
is different with the real power state. For example: the bios returns D0
state and the real power state is D3. OS expects to set the device to D0
state. In  such case if OS uses the power state returned by the BIOS and
checks the device power state very strictly in power transition, the device
can't be transited to the correct power state.

   So the boot option of "acpi.power_nocheck=1" is added to avoid checking
the device power in the course of device power transition.

08237974af ACPI: replace AE_BAD_ADDRESS exception code with AE_ERROR
The AE_BAD_ADDRESS exception code is now unused in ACPICA.
For linux, it's only used at wmi.c and acer-wmi.c.
I checked both wmi.c and acer-wmi.c, the AE_BAD_ADDRESS exception code
has no special meaning. The parent functions just call AE_SUCCESS() or
AE_FAILURE() to check the return status.
So it's safe to replace AE_BAD_ADDRESS with AE_ERROR.

20edd74fcf ACPI: Ignore AE_NOT_FOUND error of EC _REG method and continue to initialize EC
On some broken BIOS the ACPI object in EC _REG method can't be found in
ACPI namespace, which causes that the status code of AE_NOT_FOUND is returned by
the EC _REG object. In such case the EC device can't be initialized correctly,
which causes that battery/AC adapter can't work normally. As the EC address
space handler is not removed and the memory pointed by its input argument is
already free, sometimes the kernel will also be panic when EC internal register
is still accessed. But the windows can work well on such broken BIOS.

Maybe it will be reasonable that OS ignores the AE_NOT_FOUND error
returned by the EC _REG object and continues to initialize EC device
on some broken BIOS.
For example: the ACPI object in EC _REG method can't be found and status error
code is AE_NOT_FOUND.

be set initially for devices that are enabled to wake up by default.  This
is needed to restore the 2.6.26 and earlier behavior for the PCI devices
that were previously handled correctly with the help of the
/proc/acpi/wakeup interface.

910dfae298 ACPI: cpufreq, processor: Detect old BIOS, not supporting CPU freq on a recent CPU.
On Intel CPUs it is rather common and a good hint that BIOSes which do provide
_PPC func, but not the frequencies itself in _PSS function, are old and need
to be updated for CPU freq support.

Tell the user/vendor he has a BIOS/firmware problem.
Make use of FW_BUG interface to give vendors and users the ability to
automatically check with (or let linuxfirmwarekit do that):
dmesg |grep "Firmware Bug"

266feefeb9 ACPI: Avoid bogus timeout about SMbus check
In the function of wait_transaction_complete when the timeout happens,
OS will try to check the status of SMbus again. If the status is what OS
expected, it will be regarded as the bogus timeout. Otherwise it will be
treated as ETIME.

f0df2d6b52 acpi: add checking for NULL early param
The early_param handling function could recieve NULL pointer as argument
in case if user didn't enter parameter value.  So we have to be ready for
a such situation and do check for NULL pointer if needed.
