[18/49] ACPICA: Fix Scope() op in module level code

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Jan 05 2011 - 18:10:31 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 8df3fc981dc12d9fdcaef4100a2193b605024d7a upstream.

Some Panasonic Toughbooks create nodes in module level code.
Module level code is the executable AML code outside of control method,
for example, below AML code creates a node \_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02.CUBL

If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
{
Scope (\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02)
{
Name (CUBL, Ones)
...
}
}

Scope() op does not actually create a new object, it refers to an
existing object(\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02 in above example). However, for
Scope(), we want to indeed open a new scope, so the child nodes(CUBL in
above example) can be created correctly under it.
