Subject: ACPI: relax BAD_MADT_ENTRY check to allow LSAPIC variable length string UIDs
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df6fd31995cb2e38b2a7e94bc8f1559b8f55404e;p=linux-beck.git

ACPI: relax BAD_MADT_ENTRY check to allow LSAPIC variable length string UIDs

ACPI 3.0 appended a variable length UID string to the LAPIC structure
as part of support for > 256 processors.  So the BAD_MADT_ENTRY() sanity
check can no longer compare for equality with a fixed structure length.
