What is the reason to assume that DT is preferred over ACPI?  I would
have thought that if ACPI is present, then it means we're on an ARM64
server platform, and therefore it should be used.  It seems silly to
require acpi=force on every ARM64 server platform.

So it looks like there's a whole conversation about this already in
this thread that I didn't notice.  However, reading through all of it,
I still don't understand sure why the presence of ACPI tables is
insufficient to enable ACPI.  In what situation would we want to
ignore ACPI tables that are present?
