Hi, Hanjun.

Thanks for the comment.
We apologize for the delay in replying due to my vacation.

We understood this to be a point in response to the description of the patch comment.
What do you think of the following description?

When We added AEST using the Upgrading ACPI tables via initrd function,
the kernel could not recognize the AEST, 
so added the AEST table to the list to enable the table upgrade function.

Best regards,
Shuuichirou.
