Modules such as nouveau.ko and i915.ko have a link time dependency on acpi_lid_open(), and due to its use of acpi_bus_register_driver(), the button.ko module that provides it is only loadable when booted in ACPI mode. However, the ACPI button driver can be built into the core kernel as well, in which case the dependency can always be satisfied, and the dependent modules can be loaded regardless of whether the system was booted in ACPI mode or not. So let's fix this asymmetry by making the ACPI button driver loadable as a module even if not booted in ACPI mode, so it can provide the acpi_lid_open() symbol in the same way as when built into the kernel.

It is not a classic regression, but it completely breaks, e.g., Fedora when booting in DT mode on an ARM system. drivers/acpi/button.c | 24 +++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.17.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
