    ACPI / osi: Fix an issue that acpi_osi=!* cannot disable ACPICA internal strings · 18a64704

    The order of the _OSI related functionalities is as follows:
    
      acpi_blacklisted()
        acpi_dmi_osi_linux()
          acpi_osi_setup()
        acpi_osi_setup()
          acpi_update_interfaces() if "!*"
          <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      parse_args()
        __setup("acpi_osi=")
          acpi_osi_setup_linux()
            acpi_update_interfaces() if "!*"
            <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      acpi_early_init()
        acpi_initialize_subsystem()
          acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces()
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      acpi_bus_init()
        acpi_os_initialize1()
          acpi_install_interface_handler(acpi_osi_handler)
          acpi_osi_setup_late()
            acpi_update_interfaces() for "!"
            >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
      acpi_osi_handler()
    
    Since acpi_osi_setup_linux() can override acpi_dmi_osi_linux(), the command
    line setting can override the DMI detection. That's why acpi_blacklisted()
    is put before __setup("acpi_osi=").
    
    Then we can notice the following wrong invocation order. There are
    acpi_update_interfaces() (marked by <<<<) calls invoked before
    acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() (marked by ^^^^). This makes it impossible
    to use acpi_osi=!* correctly from OSI DMI table or from the command line.
    The use of acpi_osi=!* is meant to disable both ACPICA
    (acpi_gbl_supported_interfaces) and Linux specific strings
    (osi_setup_entries) while the ACPICA part should have stopped working
    because of the order issue.
    
    This patch fixes this issue by moving acpi_update_interfaces() to where
    it is invoked for acpi_osi=! (marked by >>>>) as this is ensured to be
    invoked after acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() (marked by ^^^^). Linux
    specific strings are still handled in the original place in order to make
    the following command line working: acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device".
    
    Note that since acpi_osi=!* is meant to further disable linux specific
    string comparing to the acpi_osi=!, there is no such use case in our bug
    fixing work and hence there is no one using acpi_osi=!* either from the
    command line or from the DMI quirks, this issue is just a theoretical
    issue.
