Yes, it's a firmware problem with the ACPI tables. It is likely you
need _DSD changes for the SMSC. If your trying to run juno with ACPI
there are a few other ACPI table changes you will need beyond what
was in the last linaro release. I wanted to just provide a direct
link to the correct firmware in this response, but it seems the
required version is sort of up in the air at the moment. Be assured I
will really push on this next week, and will provide a follow up here.
Good. Please keep me posted on this. I understand this is still a work
in progress, and it would be good to document what is the expected
baseline for this to work correctly.
Originally, the lack of DSD wasn't a problem, but as this patch
evolved the fact that it consolidates a number of configuration code
paths balancing that got tricky, and ACPI machines with "bad" tables
were the victims (rather than breaking something I can't control).
In the meantime, if this is blocking anyone I can provide
instructions on how to update the required ACPI tables.
Thanks,
M.
