A couple of cosmetic comments.

If you add a comment above a function, make it a kerneldoc. That
never hurts, but really helps sometimes.

Don't break the line here, it can be broken after the first arg.

That's OK even if it is more than 80 chars long.

You don't need to break this line too.

And here.

Inner parens are not necessary (and above and in some other places too).

This is not an error, rather a statement that something is inconsistent in the
ACPI table, so please consider using a different log level here.

[cut]

I guess I could post similar comments for the other general ACPI patches in
this series, so please address them in there too if applicable.

Thanks!
