It is very useful to traverse all available table entries without max
number of expected entries type. Current acpi_parse_entries()
implementation gives that feature but it does not count those entries,
it returns 0 instead, so fix it to count matched and successfully
entries and return it.

NOTE: This change has no impact to x86 and ia64 archs since existing code
checks for error occurrence only (acpi_parse_entries(...,0) < 0).

Patch 2 and patch 3 are only for ACPI cores, and have no harm to x86
and IA64, could you merge first in 3.19?
I can do that if that helps.
Yes, it helps to keep the next version of ARM64 ACPI patch set smaller
and easy for review. If any rebase work needed, please let me know.

Thanks
Hanjun
