Please provide a proper section number here and a Link: tag pointing
to the relevant section of the spec (which is
https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/05_ACPI_Software_Programming_Model.html#cc-event-log-acpi-table
I think).

If the original patch has been signed-off by that developer, you can
use a Co-developed-by: along with the original S-o-b tag here.
