Erik Schmauss b43eac6f33 ACPICA: iASL: change processing of external op namespace nodes for correctness
ACPICA commit aa866a9b4f24bbec9f158d10325b486d7d12d90f

The declaration External (ABCD.EFGH) creates two nodes in the namespace: ABCD
and EFGH where ABCD is marked as an implicit external node. ABCD is labeled as
implicit because there does not exist a specific External (ABCD) declaration.

Before this change, the declaration External (ABCD.EFGH) and
External (ABCD.EFGH.IJKL) creates the namespace nodes ABCD, EFGH, and IJKL
where ABCD and EFGH are labeled as implicit external nodes. This is incorrect.
The only implicit node should be ABCD because EFGH and IJKL are explicit nodes.
This change fixes the labeling procecess of external op namespace nodes so that
nodes are properly labeled as implicit external.

Due to this commit, the below ASL code results in a compilation error.

definition_block ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 0x02, "INTEL", "BDW    ", 0x0)
{
    External(\_SB.PCI0.GFX0, device_obj)
    External(\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.ALSI)

    Scope(\_SB)
    {
        Device(PCI0)
        {
            Device(GFX0)
            {
                Name(_ADR, 0x00020000)
            }
        }
    }
}

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
