[PATCH] ACPI: BGRT table overriding

[PATCH] ACPI: BGRT table overriding

[Andrea Oliveri]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 256 bytes --]

Thinkpad T Series expose a malformed BGRT table with Version field set
to 0. This fact prevents bootsplashes (as Plymouth) to correctly show
the manufacturer logo. This patch permits to override malformed BGRT
table with a correct one defined by the user.
