reset driver needs to match for ACPI reset driver loading to work.Don't really get the sentence. For ACPI systems, a registered reset function is selected if its associated ACPI HID matches the device ACPI HID?Old commit message. I did an internal review before posting the patch. The first version of the patch was a hack. I simplified the code but forgot to update the commit message. Now, the rule is simple. - ACPI HID needs match for ACPI systems - DT compat needs to match for OF systems as expected. I'll rephrase for the next version.quoted

For OF based systems, DT compatible string needs to match and compat in the registered reset driver needs to match for DT reset driver loading to work.same here I added Baptiste who is vfio platform driver sub-system maintainer.Thanks, we should ask Baptiste to get his email into the Maintainer file list.
I think it is: ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-vfio-platform-add-support-for-ACPI-while-detecting-t.patch Baptiste Reynal [off-list ref] (maintainer:VFIO PLATFORM DRIVER,commit_signer:1/5=20%) Alex Williamson [off-list ref] (maintainer:VFIO DRIVER,commit_signer:2/3=67%,commit_signer:4/5=80%) ../..

On my side I tested with of amd xgbe and I don't observe any regression. Best RegardsCan I add your tested by?
Well to make things clear I did not test the ACPI part. I just can tell this does not bring any regression on the of part. But I am not against if you don't find anybody else and you tested the ACPI part ;-) Best Regards Eric
