[PATCH 4/5] PNP: add framework for platform PNP quirks

From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Wed Dec 08 2010 - 16:36:31 EST



This allows platform quirks to fabricate PNP devices to describe things
that should have been described via ACPI. For example, if the BIOS writer
forgets to describe a device, we may assign its address space to another
device, causing a conflict. We can avoid the conflict by making a fake PNP
device to stand in for the one the BIOS missed.

In that case, there's no ACPI or PNPBIOS device, so we need a new
pnp_protocol that doesn't go back to firmware for get/set/wakeup/
suspend/etc.
