I'm getting these:
drivers/acpi/acpica/nsparse.c: In function ‘acpi_ns_parse_table’:
drivers/acpi/acpica/nsparse.c:173:2: error: implicit declaration of function
‘acpi_ex_enter_interpreter’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
acpi_ex_enter_interpreter();
^
drivers/acpi/acpica/nsparse.c:210:2: error: implicit declaration of function
‘acpi_ex_exit_interpreter’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
acpi_ex_exit_interpreter();
^
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Do I need to have some other patch applied before this?
