From 64b3db22c04586997ab4be46dd5a5b99f8a2d390 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Moore Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:50:42 +0800 Subject: ACPICA: Remove use of unreliable FADT revision field The revision number in the FADT has been found to be completely unreliable and cannot be trusted. Only the table length can be used to infer the actual version.
