One-line patch: Make ACPI provide CEDT table

From: Robert Kiraly
Date: Wed Jan 12 2022 - 00:26:14 EST


The attached patch is a one-line change to linux-pm 5.16-rc8.

The patch simply adds ACPI_SIG_CEDT to table_sigs[] in "drivers/acpi/tables.c".

Presently, CXL code isn't able to make use of the CEDT table. Subsequent to the change, the CEDT table can be used.

If a developer plans to use the CEDT table to program the CXL ports, this change is needed. Otherwise, it isn't expected to make a difference.

If this should go to linux-acpi as opposed to linux-pm, please excuse the error.

Regards, Robert (the Old Coder)
