ACPI OEM ID / OEM Table ID / Revision can be used to identify a platform based on ACPI firmware info. acpi_blacklisted(), intel_pstate_platform_pwr_mgmt_exists(), and some other funcs, have been using similar check to detect a list of platforms that require special handlings. Move the platform check in acpi_blacklisted() to a new common utility function, acpi_match_platform_list(), so that other drivers do not have to implement their own version. There is no change in functionality. Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com> Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
