ACPI: utils: Ignore leading root scope prefix in string _UID match
Firmware may express an ACPI namespace path used as a _UID with or without the leading root scope character ('\'). For example, an AMD IVRS IVHD ACPI HID device entry may carry a character UID of "\_SB.MHSP" while the corresponding device's _UID evaluates to "_SB.MHSP" (or vice versa). This semantic difference is due to how Windows PnP enumerates and uses devices. acpi_str_uid_match() compared the two strings verbatim, so such entries failed to match on the UID even though they refer to the same object. In the AMD IOMMU case (get_acpihid_device_id()) this caused the exact HID+UID match to be missed and the code to fall through to the HID-only path, spuriously raising a FW_BUG. Skip a single leading '\' on either string before comparing so that paths that differ only by the root scope prefix are treated as a match. The integer _UID path is unaffected. [ rjw: It is sad that making this change needed to be considered at all. That being said, it is also rather unlikely that someone will use a leading backslash as the only difference to distinguish one UID string from antother, so this change is unlikely to break anything. ] Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com> [ rjw: Added separator line to a kerneldoc comment ] [ rjw: Droppend Link: tag with a limited access target ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
