Surely this should be narrowed down somehow? Or is reading all the released standards from ASWG mandatory before patching the kernel now?
Spelling out wtf ECR is would be nice, too.
Explicit Change Request. These can only be filed by paid-up members of the UEFI Forum, so I suspect this requirement is going to be unworkable (there's plenty of ACPI support code for large x86 vendors which isn't part of any ACPI spec).
Why do you think so?
Linux Foundation can do that on behalf of the community if no one else.
