Currently, acpi_bus_get_status() calls acpi_device_always_present() to allow platform quirks to override the _STA return to report that a device is present (status = ACPI_STA_DEFAULT) independent of the _STA return. In some cases it might also be useful to have the opposite functionality and have a platform quirk which marks a device as not present (status = 0) to work around ACPI table bugs. Change acpi_device_always_present() into a more generic acpi_device_override_status() function to allow this. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
