[PATCH v3 0/2] Support ACPI 6.1 update in NFIT Control Region Structure

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Mon Apr 25 2016 - 17:43:49 EST


ACPI 6.1, Table 5-133, updates NVDIMM Control Region Structure as
follows.
- Valid Fields, Manufacturing Location, and Manufacturing Date
are added from reserved range. No change in the structure size.
- IDs (SPD values) are stored as arrays of bytes (i.e. big-endian
format). The spec clarifies that they need to be represented
as arrays of bytes as well.

Patch 1 changes the NFIT driver to comply with ACPI 6.1.
Patch 2 adds a new sysfs file "id" to show NVDIMM ID defined in ACPI 6.1.

The patch-set applies on linux-pm.git acpica.
