From f95988de06ea62ef5bd861f06e9ef56cea405ed1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2013 21:17:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / scan: Treat power resources in a special way Commit 805d410 (ACPI: Separate adding ACPI device objects from probing ACPI drivers) introduced an ACPI power resources management regression, because it didn't ensure that the power resources driver bind to the struct acpi_device objects corresponding to power resources as soon as they were created. As a result, ACPI power management routines may attempt to access power resource objects before they are ready to use. To fix this problem, tell the acpi_add_single_object() in acpi_bus_check_add() to probe the driver for objects of type ACPI_BUS_TYPE_POWER. This fix has been verified to work on HP nx6325 where the problem was first observed. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
