[PATCH] Gracely handle GPE dispatch failure
From: H.J. Lu
Date: Thu Apr 16 2015 - 19:38:00 EST
When GPE dispatch fails due to missing handler, kernel issues
ACPI Error: No handler for Region
ACPI Error: Region EmbeddedControl
ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed
ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_EXIST, while evaluating GPE method
and goes ahead enable GPE anyway. After that, kernel goes into an
infinite loop:
ACPI Error: No handler for Region
ACPI Error: Region EmbeddedControl
ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed
ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_EXIST, while evaluating GPE method
and repeat. This patch avoids the infinite loop by not enabling GPE if
GPE dispatch fails.
