Please remove the #ifdef and use 

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ACPI) || !ahandle)

to check for ACPI support. This should result in the same object code
in all cases, but give better compile-time coverage when ACPI is
disabled.
struct acpi_handle does not exist in the case !CONFIG_ACPI

Also, -ENOSYS is probably the wrong return value. I think you mean
-ENXIO.
Yes that would make sense thanks.

Not sure if we are planning to actually upstream this patch, I guess it
depends if ARM start shipping Junos with the ACPI tables loaded on them.
I think we do want this upstreamed. Juno is intended to be a readily
available reference platform, regardless of the firmware loaded when
shipped. There will be users who use it as a test platform for ACPI
development.
The patches for Juno are not intrusive. The only problem I have is
giving the wrong example on how to deal with the platform-specific
device information like this patch. I would much prefer to use _DSD
(once we agree on how to do this) than hard-coding information based on
the ACPI device id (you would need one for each SoC). I don't think we
have reached an agreement yet:
