[ Upstream commit 10809bb976648ac58194a629e3d7af99e7400297 ] Most Bay and Cherry Trail devices use a generic DSDT with all possible peripheral devices present in the DSDT, with their _STA returning 0x00 or 0x0f based on AML variables which describe what is actually present on the board. Since ACPI device objects with a 0x00 status (not present) still get an entry under /sys/bus/acpi/devices, and those entry had an acpi:PNPID modalias, userspace would end up loading modules for non present hardware. This commit fixes this by leaving the modalias empty for non present devices. This results in 10 modules less being loaded with a generic distro kernel config on my Cherry Trail test-device (a GPD pocket).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
