ACPICA: Ignore ACPI table signature for Load() operator
upstream bc45b1d39a925b56796bebf8a397a0491489d85c
Without this patch booting with acpi_osi="!Windows 2006" is required
for several machines to function properly with cpufreq
due to failure to load a Vista specific table with a bad signature.
Only "SSDT" is acceptable to the ACPI spec, but tables are
seen with OEMx and null sigs. Therefore, signature validation
is worthless. Apparently MS ACPI accepts such signatures, ACPICA
must be compatible.
