Subject: [PATCH 7/7] ACPI: use Linux as ACPI_OS_NAME for _OS on ARM64

From: Hanjun Guo <hanjun.guo@...aro.org>

ACPI_OS_NAME is globally defined as "Microsoft Windows NT" for now.
That doesn't make much sense in the ARM context, so set it to "Linux"
when CONFIG_ARM64.

If it is necessary to change the return value from \_OS_ (that is, return
some value other than the default in ACPI_OS_NAME), use the kernel parameter
"acpi_os_name=<string>".
