The nfit driver had an acpi event notification handler, but it never would've worked because we weren't setting the ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS flag in acpi_driver.Let's update the changelog to be helpful for someone implementing a backport or taking this back to a -stable branch. Something like: Subject: acpi, nfit: fix event notifications Commit 209851649dc4 "acpi: nfit: Add support for hot-add" added support for _FIT notifications, but it neglected to set the ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS flag that acpi_bus_notify() uses to gate notification delivery.While we're at it, should we update the notifier function to explicitly check for event 0x80 before re-evaluating the _FIT? I'm thinking about some time in the future when there might be more than one event.Yes, good idea.
Sounds good, part of the same patch or separately?
