In commit 94bccc340710 ("iscsi_ibft: make ISCSI_IBFT dependson ACPI instead of ISCSI_IBFT_FIND") Kconfig was disentangled to make ISCSI_IBFT selection not depend on x86. Update arm64 acpi documentation, changing IBFT support status from "Not Supported" to "Optional". Opportunistically re-flow paragraph for changed lines.

If so, I can take it as a fix.
I don't see any issue with this patch, more so given that the IBFT legacy discovery method was decoupled from the ACPI table method, so it looks sound on ARM64. However, I would like to get Al and Ard opinions on this to make sure there is not something I am missing (in particular wrt the rationale behind the "Not Supported" in the docs). Lorenzo
Thanks, Willquoted
