linux-toradex.git/include/linux/fw_table.h, branch v6.7-rc2 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules acpi: Move common tables helper functions to common lib 2023-10-28T03:48:03+00:00 Dave Jiang dave.jiang@intel.com 2023-10-12T18:53:54+00:00 a103f46633fdcddc2aaca506420f177e8803a2bd Some of the routines in ACPI driver/acpi/tables.c can be shared with parsing CDAT. CDAT is a device-provided data structure that is formatted similar to a platform provided ACPI table. CDAT is used by CXL and can exist on platforms that do not use ACPI. Split out the common routine from ACPI to accommodate platforms that do not support ACPI and move that to /lib. The common routines can be built outside of ACPI if FIRMWARE_TABLES is selected.
