From: Bob Moore Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:50:42 +0000 (+0800) Subject: ACPICA: Remove use of unreliable FADT revision field X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64b3db22c04586997ab4be46dd5a5b99f8a2d390;p=mv-sheeva.git ACPICA: Remove use of unreliable FADT revision field The revision number in the FADT has been found to be completely unreliable and cannot be trusted. Only the table length can be used to infer the actual version.
