commit 13cfc73216 upstream.
Neither soft poweroff (transition to ACPI power state S5) nor
suspend-to-RAM (transition to state S3) works on the Macbook Pro 11,4 and
11,5.
The problem is related to the [mem 0x7fa00000-0x7fbfffff] space. When we
use that space, e.g., by assigning it to the 00:1c.0 Root Port, the ACPI
Power Management 1 Control Register (PM1_CNT) at [io 0x1804] doesn't work
anymore.
Linux does a soft poweroff (transition to S5) by writing to PM1_CNT. The
theory about why this doesn't work is:
- The write to PM1_CNT causes an SMI
- The BIOS SMI handler depends on something in
[mem 0x7fa00000-0x7fbfffff]
- When Linux assigns [mem 0x7fa00000-0x7fbfffff] to the 00:1c.0 Port, it
covers up whatever the SMI handler uses, so the SMI handler no longer
works correctly
Reserve the [mem 0x7fa00000-0x7fbfffff] space so we don't assign it to
anything.
This is voodoo programming, since we don't know what the real conflict is,
but we've failed to find the root cause.
