This reverts commit a3e525feaeec436cd9f82f84e345f0d18dc2638f. With 64b9dfd0776e9 there is the following build error: In file included from ./include/acpi/acpi.h:24, from drivers/acpi/acpica/tbprint.c:10: drivers/acpi/acpica/tbprint.c: In function ‘acpi_tb_print_table_header’: ./include/acpi/actypes.h:530:43: error: ‘strncmp’ argument 1 declared attribute ‘nonstring’ is smaller than the specified bound 8 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 530 | #define ACPI_VALIDATE_RSDP_SIG(a) (!strncmp (ACPI_CAST_PTR (char, (a)), ACPI_SIG_RSDP, (sizeof(a) < 8) ?
