Not only that, Sudeep has a patch to consolidate DT and ACPI SMP code,
I am working on it, I do not think it should be a blocking point, patch
coming asap on top of your series.

Well, I don't really want to merge the series without those patches so I
do think it blocks the code from getting into mainline.

Really? It's a pretty minor duplication problem and it's been identified
as something requiring refactoring to both the ACPI and DT code. It
isn't at all dangerous. Why is this a blocking point?

Because I don't really see a valid excuse not to get this right first time
around. Lorenzo already has patches on top, so we just need a co-ordinated
review effort.

I wouldn't accept another patch series that needed minor rework (which by
its very nature is easily addressed), so why should ACPI be treated any
differently?
