Subject: [PATCH] arm64: acpi: Fix incorrect check for default console message
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 14:19:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027141941.3089914-1-punit.agrawal@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
bad3fa2fb920 ("ACPI: Suppress misleading SPCR console message when
SPCR table is absent") mistakenly assumes acpi_parse_spcr() returning
0 to indicate a failure to parse SPCR and prints a message to the
kernel logs accordingly. In reality acpi_parse_spcr() returns 0 on
success and -ERRNO on failure.
Fix the faulty check to output the correct logging message.
Fixes: bad3fa2fb920 ("ACPI: Suppress misleading SPCR console message when SPCR table is absent")

Hi,
After sending a patch to fix incorrect parsing of SPCR[0], I was still
seeing inconsistent logging on arm64. The result is this nugget.
Considering the pointless churn - I wondered if it isn't better to
drop the message? If others agree, I can send a patch (and revert
bad3fa2fb920 while at it).
Thanks,
Punit
