[ACPI-sppt] New ACPI versions with Compaq EVO N150 (thermal)

Hi!

I have a Compaq EVO N150 laptop with Phoenix BIOS Revision 0F10
(03/20/02).

I've tried several acpi versions with their suggested kernel versions from
the 2.4 series, and have got different results in getting
thermal_zone/THRM/temperature. The reason why I'm contacting you is that
at some point acpi seemed to get the temperature correctly, but it doesn't
do that anymore.

So with a kernel 2.4 series it would've been something like this with
following acpi version:

2002XXXX-20030122 - Stated just that the temperature is 71C or 101C.
20030218-20030328 - Got the temperature (supposedly) CORRECTLY.
20030424-20030714 - Stated just that the temperature is 101C.
20030730          - Couldn't compile.

So from 2.4.21-pre4+acpi20030218 to 2.4.21-pre6+acpi20030328 everything
was okay in this matter, but after that this got wrong.

I would like to know if there is some patch that got accidentally left out
in the recent versions or if there is a reason something was left out?

Best regards,
Jarkko Ranta
