    ACPI / tables: do not report the number of entries ignored by acpi_parse_entries() · 99b0efd7
    Al Stone authored
    The function acpi_parse_entries_array() has a limiting parameter,
    max_entries, which tells the function to stop looking at subtables
    once that limit has been reached.  If the limit is reached, it is
    reported.  However, the logic is incorrect in that the loop to
    examine all subtables will always report that zero subtables have
    been ignored since it does not continue once the max_entries have
    been reached.
    
    One approach to fixing this would be to correct the logic so that
    all subtables are examined, even if we have hit the max_entries, but
    without executing all the callback functions.  This could be risky
    since we cannot guarantee that no callback will ever have side effects
    that another callback depends on to work correctly.
    
    So, the simplest approach is to just remove the part of the error
    message that will always be incorrect.
