Subject: ACPICA: iASL compiler: allow compilation of externals with paths that
 refer to existing names
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc1
Git-commit: 3ddd3f6a94108a5d2abfaa2a2f809b1520361e5e
References: bsc#1117419

ACPICA commit 9a252114197409290813bee570e9d53c22b99d32

This change allows compilation of code like the following:

definition_block (...)
{
    External (ABCD.EFGH)
    Device (ABCD)
    {
        Name (IJLK,0)
    }
}

but does not allow compilation of code like the following:

definition_block (...)
{
    External (ABCD)
    Device (ABCD)
    {
        Name (EFGH,0)
    }
}
