I think we need to NACK all attempts to add ACPI support to phylib and
phylink until an authoritative ACPI Linux maintainer makes an
appearance and actively steers the work. And not just this patchset,
but all patchsets in the networking domain which have an ACPI
component.

It's funny, since I see ACPI mailing list and none of the maintainers
in the Cc here...
I'm not sure they pay attention to some (noise-like?) activity which
(from their perspective) happens on unrelated lists.

If you what you describe here is their perception of what is going on
here, that is very encouraging, we are definitively going to make progress.

I can't speak for them. As a maintainer in other areas I expect that
people Cc explicitly maintainer(s) if they want more attention.
Otherwise I look at the mails to the mailing list just from time to
time. But this is my expectation, don't take me wrong.
