[Lv Zheng] 
I can help to port your code to the ACPICA upstream.
Rafael can help to merge the linuxized ported patch and the PATCH 2/2 if you want this solution to be upstreamed now.
Or you can wait and submit PATCH 2/2 again.
PATCH 1/2 should be a part of ACPICA 201603xx release I think.

Thanks and best regards
