ACPICA: AML Parser: ignore control method status in module-level code
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Previous change in the AML parser code blindly set all non-successful
dispatcher statuses to AE_OK. That approach is incorrect, though,
because successful control method invocations from module-level
return AE_CTRL_TRANSFER. Overwriting AE_OK to this status causes the
AML parser to think that there was no return value from the control
method invocation.
