#include <linux/acpi.h> is added in PATCH 03/12. The functions' prototypes
are present in acpi.h. I think the bot checked this patch individually,
or did I miss something?


Did you try to build this code with a sparc cross-compiler ?
Because, as far as I can see, the functions are not declared or available
if ACPI is not enabled (or available, as with sparc).
