Actually, the reason is that, as a rule, the process for ACPICA
patches is that they first go to upstream ACPICA and they are acquired
by Linux from there.

While there are some exceptions from that process, there also are good
reasons for that process to be followed, including the licensing one
mentioned by Lv.

All that said, Matt, if you agree that the patch can be applied under
the BSD license, I think we can offer help with converting it to the
upstream ACPICA coding conventions and applying it there.  Lv, would
you be able to take care of that?

I don't have any problem with that, but can we hold off on this patch
for now? There's another approach to fixing the BGRT issue with kexec
that's being discussed which would supersede this,

Assuming this patch does get picked up again, I'm happy to respin it
against upstream ACPICA, but how do I go about getting dependent
patches merged, PATCH 2/2 in this case?

[Lv Zheng] 
I can help to port your code to the ACPICA upstream.
Rafael can help to merge the linuxized ported patch and the PATCH 2/2 if you want this solution to be upstreamed now.
Or you can wait and submit PATCH 2/2 again.
PATCH 1/2 should be a part of ACPICA 201603xx release I think.

Thanks and best regards
