The two mean the same thing but one has a pointless extra 0 in the precision-specifier, as far as I can see... Anyway, applied to target-arm.next. thanks -- PMM

Current QEMU will stall guest VM booting under ACPI mode when vcpu count is >= 12. Analyzing the booting log, it turns out that DSDT table can't be loaded correctly due to "Invalid character(s) in name (0x62303043), repaired: [C00*]". This is because existing QEMU uses a lower case AML ID for CPU devices (e.g. C000, C001, ..., C00a, C00b). The ACPI code inside guest VM detects this lower case character as an invalid character (see acpi_ut_valid_acpi_char() in drivers/acpi/acpica/utstring.c file) and converts it to "*". This causes duplicated IDs (i.e. "C00a" ==>"C00*" and "C00b" ==> "C00*"). So ACPI refuses to load the table. This patch fixes the problem by changing the format with a upper case character. It matches the CPU ID formats used in other parts of QEMU code.
