[PATCH] data: cater for _PTS not existing

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>
Sometimes _PTS is not implemented and the kernel complains. It appears
it is a control that helps the firmware do housekeeping before suspend
and for some firmware it is not implemented because it does not need
_PTS. Cater for this by adding some suitable advice and marking this
as not a high level error.

Section 6.1 of the ACPI specification states: 'The _PTS control method provides the BIOS a mechanism for performing some housekeeping, such as writing the sleep type value to the embedded controller, before entering the system sleeping state'. Hence _PTS is provided for the firmware to do housekeeping and therefore does not appear to be mandatory. In this case, the platform seems to have omitted _PTS because it may not need it. Unfortunately the kernel complains about this not existing. This is most probably not an error.",
