RE: [PATCH] ACPICA: tbinstal: Remove unused function

[Zheng, Lv]

Hi, Rickard

This function contains logic that is only correct to iasl.
It seems we can move it to a separate file that can only be linked by iasl to avoid releasing this function to the kernel.
Let me do this in the ACPICA upstream.

Thanks
