Hi,

The helper function returns all memory resources described for a
device regardless of the ACPI descriptor type (as long as it's
memory), but the first patch introduces new ACPI ID for the IOM
controller on Intel Meteor Lake and also separately modifies the
driver so that it can get the memory resource from Address Space
Resource Descriptor.

An alternative would have been to introduce that helper function first
so we would not need to modify the driver when the new ID is added,
but then the helper would also need to be applied to the stable kernel
releases, and that does not feel necessary or appropriate in this
case, at least not IMO.

So that's why I'm proposing here that we first add the ID, and only
after that introduce the helper, and only for mainline. That way the
patch introducing the ID is the only that goes to the stable releases.

If that's okay, and these don't have any other problems, I assume it's
OK if Rafael takes all of these, including the ID?

thanks,

I took the id now, for 6.0-final as it seems to be totally independant
of the other commits (otherwise you would not have tagged it for the
stable tree.)

The remainder should probably be resent and send through the acpi tree.

Okay. The last patch depends on that ID patch, so Rafael, you need to
handle that conflict with immutable branch I guess. Or should we just
skip that patch for now?

I think another way to handle this would be that Greg, you take the
whole series.

thanks,

You can wait for -rc3 or so which should have that commit in it.

I'll apply the series on top of -rc3.
