[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v2 2/3] x86/acpi: Clarify BGRT invalidation behavior with preservation
Now that BGRT images are preserved during EFI boot (via
EfiACPIReclaimMemory allocation), the invalidation code in
acpi_parse_bgrt() is no longer needed.
However, The original invalidation code acts as a safety net for when
preservation fails or is disabled via "efi=no-bgrt".
Thus, Add comments to clarify this behavior for future reference.
