Is this in line with Olof's idea that providing a dtb would override ACPI?
Yes, it will. Since ACPI is default OFF (disabled), if a dtb provided, and no acpi=force
passed in the early command line, dtb will be used as system configuration for
boot (dtb is always the prior one for now) [1]. In acpi_gic_init() which called by
acpi_irq_init(), it will return immediately if acpi disabled, so it will not parse
any ACPI table for device configuration.
Ok, that matches my recollection.  Thanks for refreshing my memory.  I'll apply
this on a topic branch for irqchip/gic when I return from travel.  Most likely
Friday or over the weekend.
Thank you very much! But this patch can't be applied without previous ones in this
patch set, how about you ack this patch and Catalin takes it via ARM64 tree? I'm
not sure for this, it depends on your decision.
Is this a build dependency or a boot dependency?  I only received this patch in
the series and I apologize, I'm a bit swamped atm.  Catalin, would an immutable
irqchip/gic topic branch with this in it work for you?
Jason,

For a series like this I strongly recommend you provide an ack and let
the whole series go in via a single branch. Trying to split it up only
to reassemble it again creates more work for everyone. There is also
very little likelyhood that this will create a complex conflict with
your tree.
I would prefer this approach as well since we only enable ACPI on arm64
on patch 19. If we are to rework this, we probably end up with 3
branches: one for the base ACPI, another for irqchip and yet another to
enable ACPI on arm64 (that's unless we enable APCI on arm64 but without
any irqchip support which makes it pretty useless for testing).
