commit 5508df89 upstream. It is reported that the following commit triggers regressions: Linux commit: efaed9be ACPICA commit: 31178590dde82368fdb0f6b0e466b6c0add96c57 Subject: ACPICA: Events: Enhance acpi_ev_execute_reg_method() to ensure no _REG evaluations can happen during OS early boot stages This is because that the ECDT support is not corrected in Linux, and Linux requires to execute _REG for ECDT (though this sounds so wrong), we need to ensure acpi_gbl_namespace_initialized is set before ECDT probing in order for _REG to be executed. Since we have to move "acpi_gbl_namespace_initialized = TRUE" to the initialization step happening before ECDT probing, acpi_load_tables() is the best candidate for now. Thus this patch fixes the regression by doing so. But if the ECDT support is fixed, Linux will not execute _REG for ECDT, and ECDT probing will happen before acpi_load_tables(). At that time, we still want to ensure acpi_gbl_namespace_initialized is set after executing acpi_ns_initialize_objects() (under the condition of acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code = FALSE), this patch also moves acpi_ns_initialize_objects() to acpi_load_tables() accordingly. Since acpi_ns_initialize_objects() doesn't seem to be skippable, this patch also removes ACPI_NO_OBJECT_INIT for the one invoked in acpi_load_tables(). And since the default region handlers should always be installed before loading the tables, this patch also removes useless acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code check accordingly.
