Summary of changes for version 20191213: 1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem: -Return a Buffer object for all fields created via the CreateField operator. Previously, an Integer would be returned if the size of the field was less than or equal to the current size of an Integer. Although this goes against the ACPI specification, it provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations. Also updated the ASLTS test suite to reflect this new behavior. +Return a Buffer object for all fields created via the CreateField +operator.
