Hi!
I have a preliminary working ACPI tables for Intel Edison (to replace ugly SFI provided by firmware). What I would like to ask is how better from your point of view to proceed.
I have apparently not all devices covered in the tables, though I have almost stable code which brings ACPI support to Edison.
I see few options here: 0. Do nothing :-) 1. Apply ACPI code, but leave no tables applied yet. 2. Apply both and amend whenever problem occurs. 3. Postpone until kernel will be ready for that (*) 4. ...other option...?
*) LInux kernel (vanilla) is not ready for this change. It means in all above cases there will be neither new config file (like edison_acpi_defconfig) nor modification to the existing one (of course!). The stuff is highly experimental now.
