Dmitry has a good question and we need to iron it out for the general case.
I recommend that for your driver you simply do something like this for now:
if (ACPI_ERROR(status))
status = -EINVAL
and get your driver into the mm tree to find the next problem.
Jaya,
If you could make the change Len was talking about and create a patch
against mainline I would apply it to my tree.
Thank you.
