ACPI: Make _OSI(Linux) a special case
_OSI("Linux") is like _OS("Linux"), it is ill-defined and virtually no BIOS vendors test interaction with it. As a result, it can do more damage than good because it causes the BIOS to follow un-tested paths. Recently, several machines have turned up that erroneously test this string in a way which causes them to _not_ test other compatibility strings, including the ZI9 and Toshiba. So it appears that this bad code has made it into a BIOS vendor's reference BIOS. Linux has no choice but to stop advertising compatibility with _OSI string "Linux" - as there are an unbounded number of possible incompatibilities going forward. But some BIOSes have already shipped which do use it for things like conditionally re-enabling video on resume from S3. (Too bad they didn't do that unconditionally) Add special case code for _OSI(Linux) Squawk to dmesg if _OSI(Linux) is requested Add DMI list both to enable and disable _OSI(Linux) But for now, keep the default enabled via #define OSI_LINUX_ENABLED. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7787 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
