Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: make acpi_load_table() return table index

Hi Nikolaus,

For unloading an ACPI table, it is necessary to provide the index of the table.
The method intended for dynamically loading or hotplug addition of tables,
acpi_load_table(), should provide this information via an optional pointer to
the loaded table index.

We'll take this patch for ACPICA upstream

that's good news, thanks!
Niko


Thanks,
Erik

This patch fixes the table unload function of acpi_configfs.

loads")
