The aml method _BIX of NEC LZ750/LS returns a broken package which
skip the first member "Revision" according ACPI 5.0 spec Table 10-234.

This patch is to add a quirk for this machine to skip member "Revision"
during parsing _BIX returned package.

Do you really need this callback? Why don't you just do:

if (dmi_check_system(bat_dmi_table))
battery_bix_broken_package = 1;


Callback would be useful if we were to print the DMI data of the match,
otherwise not so much.


Hi Leandro & Dmitry:
Thanks for your review. I select to callback mode as it's convenient to add a new quirk for other machines if need. This Just likes what we have done for the other ACPI drivers(E,G ac, processor_idle, video, thermal and so on.).
