From a647b5c34047560d7efe7e53e756c6692ce67dc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:44:39 +0800 Subject: ACPICA: Add Buffer->String conversion for predefined methods For predefined methods (such as _BIF), add automatic conversion for objects that are required to be a String, but a Buffer was found instead. This can happen when reading string battery data from an operation region, because it used to be difficult to convert the data from buffer to string from within the ASL.
