2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Rafael J. Wysocki <[email protected]> commit 7bed50c5edf5cba8dd515a31191cbfb6065ddc85 upstream. There is at least one BIOS with a DSDT containing a power resource object with a _PR0 entry pointing back to that power resource. In consequence, while registering that power resource acpi_bus_get_power_flags() sees that it depends on itself and tries to register it again, which leads to an infinitely deep recurrence. This problem was introduced by commit bf325f9538d8c89312be305b9779e (ACPI / PM: Register power resource devices as soon as they are needed). To fix this problem use the observation that power resources cannot be power manageable and prevent acpi_bus_get_power_flags() from being called for power resource objects.
