Corrected I2C LVR resource descriptor handling and refactored TPR Base/Limit registers to use compatible bitmask representations, with additional validation and cleanup across DTPR-related code. — Akhil R and Michal Camacho Romero
• General Cleanup and Build Fixes:
Fixed a syntax error caused by a stray character, corrected spelling issues, improved comment alignment and formatting, updated dummy compiler metadata, and disabled excessive MSVC bitfield warnings (C4214) to improve build clarity. — Colin Ian King and Saket Dumbre

This is the first ACPICA release of 2025! The website will take up to ~2 weeks to be updated with the latest release. Please find the updated tar balls and Win zip with the correct acpixf.h file and not the buggy ACPIXF.H file in the comment of
#1010 and not the original post there or up above here! GitHub really needs to figure it out with their file replacement/update process!
