Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Clean up and tweak ACPI blacklist year code
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f083a329e63d471a5e9238e837772b1b76c218db;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] x86_64: Clean up and tweak ACPI blacklist year code

 - Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c.  It can be useful for other
   subsystems too.
 - Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or
   unparseable.  The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI,
   the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to
   edit the date.  Don't blacklist in the later case.
