There are several drivers making use of ACPI _DSM method to detect
and invoke device specific methods. Currently every driver has
implemented its private version to support ACPI _DSM method.
So this patch introduces three helper functions to support ACPI _DSM
method, which will be used to replace open-coded versions. It helps
to simplify code and improve code readability.
It also includes some bugfixes for TPM/nouveau drivers.
It applies to the mainstream kernel on top of
b0031f2 Merge tag 's2mps11-build' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator
Due to lacking of hardware platform, I have only tested the ACPI _DSM
helper functions and TPM related changes, but haven't tested changes to
other drivers yet. So appreciate help to review and test these patches.
