Subject: RE: bisected: Re: 4.3.0-rc3-00042: ACPI Warning: AcpiEnable failed

Hi, Rafael

The bug has been fixed.
The root cause is the previous commit doesn't cover a hidden logic:
 acpi_enable() should rely on the existence of FADT while currently it relies on the number of loaded tables.
The fix that removes the hidden logic is an ACPICA commit.
Shall we wait until it is merged via an ACPICA release cycle or make it a bit faster by merging Linuxized version first?

Thanks and best regards
-Lv
