Yes, on arm64 we only support 5.1 or later so for now, less than 6 is a sufficient test. The 5.0 spec defines yet a third size for the GICC subtable with the same MADT version number (40 bytes) but we won't initialize ACPI if we have anything before 5.1. So, I could take this patch out of the set and reduce patch 2/3 somewhat by just comparing against acpi_gbl_FADT.header.revision. I think that's what I'll do unless you think these macros have intrinsic value for other reasons. -- ciao, al ----------------------------------- Al Stone Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. ahs3@redhat.com ----------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
