[PATCH] fastboot: make ACPI bus drivers probe asynchronous

From: Arjan van de Ven
Date: Sun Jan 04 2009 - 08:32:28 EST


the various ACPI bus drivers have non-overlapping devices and can
each be run asynchronous. Some of the ACPI drivers (especially the
battery one, but others as well) can take quite a long time to probe.
