Subject: [RFC V4 1/4] ACPI: add support for sentinel-delimited probe tables
Date:   Thu,  5 Jul 2018 16:23:18 -0400
Message-Id: <1530822201-5890-2-git-send-email-agustinv@codeaurora.org>
In-Reply-To: <1530822201-5890-1-git-send-email-agustinv@codeaurora.org>
References: <1530822201-5890-1-git-send-email-agustinv@codeaurora.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Tables declared with the ACPI_PROBE_TABLE linker macro are typically
traversed by using the start and end symbols created by the linker
script. However, there are some APIs that use sentinel-delimited
tables (e.g. acpi_match_device). To better support these APIs an
additional section is added at the end of the probe table. This
section can be used to add a sentinel for tables that require it.
