Subject[PATCH v3 05/11] drivers/acpi: convert seqno counter_atomic32
Date
counter_atomic* is introduced to be used when a variable is used as
a simple counter and doesn't guard object lifetimes. This clearly
differentiates atomic_t usages that guard object lifetimes.

counter_atomic* variables wrap around to INT_MIN when it overflows and
should not be used to guard resource lifetimes, device usage and
open counts that control state changes, and pm states.

seqno is a sequence number counter for logging. This counter gets
incremented. Unsure if there is a chance of this overflowing. It
doesn't look like overflowing causes any problems since it is used
to tag the log messages and nothing more.

Convert it to use counter_atomic32.

This conversion doesn't change the overflow wrap around behavior.
