When configuring the resources of an ACPI device, we first evaluate _CRS
to get a template of resource descriptors, then fill in the specific
resource values we want, and finally evaluate _SRS to actually configure
the device.
Some resources have optional fields, so the size of encoded descriptors
varies depending on the specific values. For example, IRQ descriptors can
be either two or three bytes long. The third byte contains triggering
information and can be omitted if the IRQ is edge-triggered and active
high.
The BIOS often assumes that IRQ descriptors in the _SRS buffer use the
same format as those in the _CRS buffer, so this patch enforces that
constraint.
The "Start Dependent Function" descriptor also has an optional byte, but
we don't currently encode those descriptors, so I didn't do anything for
those.
I have tested this patch on a Toshiba Portege 4000. Without the patch,
parport_pc claims the parallel port only if I use "pnpacpi=off". This
patch makes it work with PNPACPI.
