This commit can trigger regression as mentioned by this discussion:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9717073/
So if this commit is accepted by the upstream, the above commit should also be in upstream in order not to regress.
Do you need to me refine it and re-send it to the community?
It's a bit slow in ACPICA upstream as ACPICA upstream is frozen for spec 6.2 support.

Thanks and best regards
Lv
