Documentation: ACPI: Fix parent device references

2025-08-28T14:24:15+00:00

commit e65cb011349e653ded541dddd6469c2ca813edcf upstream. The _CRS resources in many cases want to have ResourceSource field to be a type of ACPI String. This means that to compile properly we need to enclosure the name path into double quotes. This will in practice defer the interpretation to a run-time stage, However, this may be interpreted differently on different OSes and ACPI interpreter implementations. In particular ACPICA might not correctly recognize the leading '^' (caret) character and will not resolve the relative name path properly. On top of that, this piece may be used in SSDTs which are loaded after the DSDT and on itself may also not resolve relative name paths outside of their own scopes. With this all said, fix documentation to use fully-qualified name paths always to avoid any misinterpretations, which is proven to work.

Documentation: ACPI: EINJ: Fix obsolete example

2022-08-25T09:40:01+00:00

commit 9066e151c37950af92c3be6a7270daa8e8063db9 upstream. Since commit 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()"), the EINJ debugfs interface no longer accepts negative values as input. Attempt to do so will result in EINVAL.

Documentation: ACPI: Fix data node reference documentation

2022-01-27T10:05:20+00:00

commit a11174952205d082f1658fab4314f0caf706e0a8 upstream. The data node reference documentation was missing a package that must contain the property values, instead property name and multiple values being present in a single package. This is not aligned with the _DSD spec. Fix it by adding the package for the values. Also add the missing "reg" properties to two numbered nodes.

docs: firmware-guide: acpi: dsd: graph.rst: replace some characters

2021-07-25T20:35:46+00:00

The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause troubles when parsed by the documentation build system. Replace the occurences of the following characters: - U+00a0 (' '): NO-BREAK SPACE as it can cause lines being truncated on PDF output Acked-by: Rafael J.

One noteworthy change is that PWM consumers can now pass a hint to the PWM core about the PWM usage, enabling PWM providers to implement various optimizations.
