commit c5781ffbbd4f742a58263458145fe7f0ac01d9e0 upstream.
ACPICA commit b233720031a480abd438f2e9c643080929d144c3
ASL operation_regions declare a range of addresses that it uses. In a perfect world, the range of addresses should be used exclusively by the AML interpreter. The OS can use this information to decide which drivers to load so that the AML interpreter and device drivers use different regions of memory.
During table load, the address information is added to a global address range list. Each node in this list contains an address range as well as a namespace node of the operation_region. This list is deleted at ACPI shutdown.
Unfortunately, ASL operation_regions can be declared inside of control methods. Although this is not recommended, modern firmware contains such code. New module level code changes unintentionally removed the functionality of adding and removing nodes to the global address range list.
A few months ago, support for adding addresses has been re- implemented. However, the removal of the address range list was missed and resulted in some systems to crash due to the address list containing bogus namespace nodes from operation_regions declared in control methods. In order to fix the crash, this change removes dynamic operation_regions after control method termination.
