No, /sys/contrib/dev/acpica/CHANGES.txt told me:
Replace ACPI_DEBUG define with ACPI_DEBUG_OUTPUT.
The broken output is caused by the lack of support for
"h" (short int) optional character in the kvprintf
function, "Scaled down version of printf", residing in
/sys/kern/subr_prf.c
Thus the solution is to replace %hd with %d in
/sys/contirb/dev/acpica/* (since short is converted to
int anyway) or enhancing kvprintf to handle "h",
to make porting from Linux easier.
Is it worth sending a pr?
Sincerely, Michail
PS. BTW. acpi(4) does not mention the need to use
acpi_dsdt_type="acpi_dsdt", since it is a loader.conf
default on FreeBSD-CURRENT. But not on 4.9-??.
May be it is also worth reporting?
Sincerely, Michail
