Cover letter [PATCH v5 0/2] Fixes for ACPI BERT table

From: Tony Luck <[email protected]>

At Boris' suggestion I've split this into two parts for version 5. First one stops the driver from clearing the block_status field as:
1) it is unnecessary
2) not mentioned in the spec
3) may upset user mode tools that extract information from the BERT table.

Second is the code simplification that you've seen before in ealier versions of this patch.
