      [PATCH] pciehp: clean-up how we request control of hotplug hardware · a3a45ec8
      rajesh.shah@intel.com 提交于
      This patch further tweaks how we request control of hotplug
      controller hardware from BIOS. We first search the ACPI namespace
      corresponding to a specific hotplug controller looking for an
      _OSC or OSHP method. On failure, we successively move to the
      ACPI parent object, till we hit the highest level host bridge
      in the hierarchy. This allows for different types of BIOS's
      which place the _OSC/OSHP methods at various places in the acpi
      namespace, while still not encroaching on the namespace of
      some other root level host bridge.
      
      This patch also introduces a new load time option (pciehp_force)
      that allows us to bypass all _OSC/OSHP checking. Not supporting
      these methods seems to be be the most common ACPI firmware problem
      we've run into. This will still _not_ allow the pciehp driver to
      work correctly if the BIOS really doesn't support pciehp (i.e. if
      it doesn't generate a hotplug interrupt). Use this option with
      caution.  Some BIOS's may deliberately not build any _OSC/OSHP
      methods to make sure it retains control the hotplug hardware.
      Using the pciehp_force parameter for such systems can lead to
      two separate entities trying to control the same hardware.
