ACPI: Invalid Power Resource to register!

[Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm getting the message in $Subject with latest linus:v3.5-8833-g2d534926205d

The dmesg printk is delayed for 5 seconds probably due to async scanning
(see trace below):

So I added some debugging code to see where exactly this happens:

+       }
 
        powered_device = kzalloc(sizeof(*powered_device), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!powered_device)

and I got the following trace:

And as it looks like, acpi_dev->power.flags.power_resources is 0.

This thing is set in acpi_bus_get_power_flags() so I'd guess some of
those _PR* objects are probably not completely correct and they should
be fixed in the BIOS?

Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks.
