[PATCH v2 1/3] ACPI / EC: Enhance boot EC sanity check

Show all headers | View raw

It's reported that some buggy BIOS tables can contain 2 DSDT ECs and one of
them is invalid. As we shouldn't evaluate _STA from acpi_ec_dsdt_probe()
due to the unknown Windows enumeration order, this patch simply enhances
sanity checks in ec_parse_device() as a workaround to skip probing wrong
namespace ECs.
