[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/5] add ACPI node for fw_cfg on pc and arm

[Gabriel L. Somlo]

New since v3:

        - rebased to work on top of 87e896ab (introducing pc-*-25 classes),
          inserting fw_cfg acpi node only for machines >= 2.5.

        - reintroduce _STA with value 0x0B (bit 2 for u/i visibility turned
          off to avoid Windows complaining -- thanks Igor for catching that!)

If there's any other feedback besides questions regarding the
appropriateness of "QEMU0002" as the value of _HID, please don't hesitate!

Thanks much,
  --Gabriel

Gabriel L. Somlo (5):
  fw_cfg: expose control register size in fw_cfg.h
  pc: fw_cfg: move ioport base constant to pc.h
  acpi: pc: add fw_cfg device node to ssdt
  acpi: arm: add fw_cfg device node to dsdt
  fw_cfg: document ACPI device node information
