In order to modify ACPICA code in the Linux kernel, please first
submit the change in question to the upstream ACPICA project on GitHub
as a pull request. Once that pull request has been merged, you can
send a corresponding Linux patch with a Link: tag pointing to it, but
in principle it is not necessary to do so because ACPICA changes are
automatically integrated into the Linux code base on a more-or-less
regular basis.
Thanks!
