RE: [PATCH v2 1/3] ACPI: Resolve objects on host-directed table loads

[Moore, Robert]

It looks to me that the package objects are being initialized properly already, unless I'm missing something. Please check the examples below and in the attached files.

Attached is a small test case that dynamically loads an SSDT which contains a package object which in turn contains references to other objects.


Main DSDT:
    Method (LD1)
    {
        Load (BUF1, HNDL)      // SSDT is in BUF1
        Store (HNDL, Debug)
        Return
    }   

Loaded table:
    External (DEV1, DeviceObj)
    Name (PKG1, Package() {
        1,2, DEV2, DEV1, 4})
    Device (DEV2) {}


AcpiExec Output:
