Hi All, The upstream ACPICA project is undergoing some changes that require documentation updates and similar, and hence this series. Some of that is due to the departure of the long-time upstream ACPICA developer and maintainer Bob Moore and his immediate successor from Intel, but there is more. The project's license has changed (hopefully for the better) and it is now going to be the BSD-2-Clause-Patent license or the GPL-2.0-only license (as per the SPDX identifier). Also, the project will now require Sign-off-by tags from all contributors which should make it easier to track the provenance of code changes. Moreover, the ACPICA repository on GitHub has been relocated, so basically it has a new URL, even though the old one should just take you to the new location (at least most of the time), but it is still the same repository with all pull requests, issues etc. Nevertheless, I apologize everyone who may be affected by this change for the inconvenience. This series makes updates related to those changes. The first patch adds a CREDITS entry for Bob Moore, which is well-deserved in my view. The second patch updates the ACPICA entry in MAINTAINERS in accordance with the current state of the upstream ACPICA project. The last patch updates the upstream ACPICA repository URL in the only document other than MAINTAINERS in which it is present. Thanks!
