Now that GPE blocks are validated at the initialization time, accesses to GPE registers can be made more straightforward by ommitting all of the redundant checks in acpi_hw_read() and acpi_hw_write() and only invoking the OS-provided helper for the given type of access (read or write) and the address space holding these registers. For this reason, introduce simplified routines for accessing GPE registers, acpi_hw_gpe_read() and acpi_hw_gpe_write(), designed in accordance with the above observation, and modify all of the code accessing GPE registers to use them instead of acpi_hw_read() and acpi_hw_write(), respectively.

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.
