commit 016d5baad04269e8559332df05f89bd95b52d6ad upstream.

The _BIX method returns extended battery info as a package.
According the ACPI spec (ACPI 5, Section 10.2.2.2), the first member
of that package should be "Revision".  However, the current ACPI
battery driver treats the first member as "Power Unit" which should
be the second member.  This causes the result of _BIX return data
parsing to be incorrect.

Fix this by adding a new member called 'revision' to struct
acpi_battery and adding the offsetof() information on it to
extended_info_offsets[] as the first row.

commit d19f503e22316a84c39bc19445e0e4fdd49b3532 upstream.

device-&gt;driver_data needs to be cleared when releasing its data,
mem_device, in an error path of acpi_memory_device_add().

The function evaluates the _CRS of memory device objects, and fails
when it gets an unexpected resource or cannot allocate memory.  A
kernel crash or data corruption may occur when the kernel accesses
the stale pointer.

commit 780a6ec640a3fed671fc2c40e4dd30c03eca3ac3 upstream.

This patch addresses kernel bug 56661. BIOS reports an incorrect
backlight value, causing the driver to switch off the backlight
completely during startup. This patch ignores the incorrect value from
BIOS.

commit c8f6d8351ba8c89d5cd4c562552ec7ec29274e31 upstream.

Like on UL30VT, the ACPI video driver can't control backlight correctly on
Asus UL30A.  Vendor driver (asus-laptop) can work.  This patch is to
add "Asus UL30A" to ACPI video detect blacklist in order to use
asus-laptop for video control on the "Asus UL30A" rather than ACPI
video driver.

<title>ACPI / EC: Restart transaction even when the IBF flag set</title>

commit 28fe5c825f8e15744d04c7c1b8df197950923ecd upstream.

The EC driver works abnormally with IBF flag always set.
IBF means "The host has written a byte of data to the command
or data port, but the embedded controller has not yet read it".
If IBF is set in the EC status and not cleared, this will cause
all subsequent EC requests to fail with a timeout error.

Change the EC driver so that it doesn't refuse to restart a
transaction if IBF is set in the status.  Also increase the
number of transaction restarts to 5, as it turns out that 2
is not sufficient in some cases.

This bug happens on several different machines (Asus V1S,
Dell Latitude E6530, Samsung R719, Acer Aspire 5930G,
Sony Vaio SR19VN and others).

<title>PCI / ACPI: Don't query OSC support with all possible controls</title>

<id>c08f24e209c8d0dbd2274af9327195d9ec1c2a53</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 545d6e189a41c94c11f55045a771118eccc9d9eb upstream.

Found problem on system that firmware that could handle pci aer.
Firmware get error reporting after pci injecting error, before os boots.
But after os boots, firmware can not get report anymore, even pci=noaer
is passed.

Root cause: BIOS _OSC has problem with query bit checking.
It turns out that BIOS vendor is copying example code from ACPI Spec.
In ACPI Spec 5.0, page 290:

	If (Not(And(CDW1,1))) // Query flag clear?
	{	// Disable GPEs for features granted native control.
		If (And(CTRL,0x01)) // Hot plug control granted?
		{
			Store(0,HPCE) // clear the hot plug SCI enable bit
			Store(1,HPCS) // clear the hot plug SCI status bit
		}
	...
	}

When Query flag is set, And(CDW1,1) will be 1, Not(1) will return 0xfffffffe.
So it will get into code path that should be for control set only.
BIOS acpi code should be changed to "If (LEqual(And(CDW1,1), 0)))"

Current kernel code is using _OSC query to notify firmware about support
from OS and then use _OSC to set control bits.
During query support, current code is using all possible controls.
So will execute code that should be only for control set stage.

That will have problem when pci=noaer or aer firmware_first is used.
As firmware have that control set for os aer already in query support stage,
but later will not os aer handling.

We should avoid passing all possible controls, just use osc_control_set
instead.
That should workaround BIOS bugs with affected systems on the field
as more bios vendors are copying sample code from ACPI spec.

commit 545d6e189a41c94c11f55045a771118eccc9d9eb upstream.

Found problem on system that firmware that could handle pci aer.
Firmware get error reporting after pci injecting error, before os boots.
But after os boots, firmware can not get report anymore, even pci=noaer
is passed.

Root cause: BIOS _OSC has problem with query bit checking.
It turns out that BIOS vendor is copying example code from ACPI Spec.
In ACPI Spec 5.0, page 290:

	If (Not(And(CDW1,1))) // Query flag clear?
	{	// Disable GPEs for features granted native control.
		If (And(CTRL,0x01)) // Hot plug control granted?
		{
			Store(0,HPCE) // clear the hot plug SCI enable bit
			Store(1,HPCS) // clear the hot plug SCI status bit
		}
	...
	}

When Query flag is set, And(CDW1,1) will be 1, Not(1) will return 0xfffffffe.
So it will get into code path that should be for control set only.
BIOS acpi code should be changed to "If (LEqual(And(CDW1,1), 0)))"

Current kernel code is using _OSC query to notify firmware about support
from OS and then use _OSC to set control bits.
During query support, current code is using all possible controls.
So will execute code that should be only for control set stage.

That will have problem when pci=noaer or aer firmware_first is used.
As firmware have that control set for os aer already in query support stage,
but later will not os aer handling.

We should avoid passing all possible controls, just use osc_control_set
instead.
That should workaround BIOS bugs with affected systems on the field
as more bios vendors are copying sample code from ACPI spec.
