Subject: Re: [PATCH ] tbfadt.c: output warning only when 64bit 32bit address
 of FACS/DSDT all have value but not equal to each other

Bob,
       Thanks for your detailed reviewing about the whole possible conditions.
       I.C.  So that is impossible zero value for Xfacs /Xdsdt if
facs/dsdt >0, for they are assigned in acpi_tb_convert_fadt(),  I need
to move my eyes one line code higher to see why it yelled twice
but not using the 32bit address at once in acpi_tb_convert_fadt().
       Do you agree to move the checking code warning  and into
acpi_tb_convert_fadt to make the code more simple and clear ? Or just
keep it for more rework, more bug?


Thanks,
Ethan
