Subject: ACPICA: Fix to allow aliases within ASL namepaths
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5572a9859fa55216597b8226717691956d3e53e3;p=linux-beck.git

ACPICA: Fix to allow aliases within ASL namepaths

Fixes a problem where the use of an alias within a namepath
would result in a not found error or cause the compiler to fault.
Also now allows forward references from the Alias operator itself.
ACPICA BZ 738.
