Subject: ACPI: PRM: Reduce unnecessary printing to avoid user confusion
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3db5648c4d608b5483470efc1da9780b081242dd;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

ACPI: PRM: Reduce unnecessary printing to avoid user confusion

Commit 088984c8d54c ("ACPI: PRM: Find EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME block for PRM
handler and context") introduced non-essential printing "Failed to find
VA for GUID: xxxx, PA: 0x0" which may confuse users to think that
something wrong is going on while it is not the case.

According to the PRM Spec Section 4.1.2 [1], both static data buffer
address and ACPI parameter buffer address may be NULL if they are not
needed, so there is no need to print out the "Failed to find VA ... "
in those cases.
