55 * This module validates predefined ACPI objects that appear in the namespace,
56 * at the time they are evaluated (via acpi_evaluate_object). The purpose of this
57 * validation is to detect problems with BIOS-exposed predefined ACPI objects
58 * before the results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers.
60 * There are several areas that are validated:
62 * 1) The number of input arguments as defined by the method/object in the
63 * ASL is validated against the ACPI specification.
64 * 2) The type of the return object (if any) is validated against the ACPI
66 * 3) For returned package objects, the count of package elements is
67 * validated, as well as the type of each package element. Nested
68 * packages are supported.
70 * For any problems found, a warning message is issued.
