From 3aadd86e5669f6bdb7c082e06c0ffadb4f987375 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafael J. Wysocki Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2021 20:00:43 +0100 Subject: ACPI: Drop unused ACPI_*_COMPONENT definitions and update documentation Drop the definitions of the following symbols: ACPI_SBS_COMPONENT ACPI_FAN_COMPONENT ACPI_CONTAINER_COMPONENT ACPI_MEMORY_DEVICE_COMPONENT that are not used in a meaningful way any more and update the ACPI debug documentation to avoid confusing users by making the impression that the ACPICA debug can be used for anything other than ACPICA itself, which is incorrect. No functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
