From b10d79f76085b577673395daf92d6208ae09196f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Stone Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 14:02:41 +0000 Subject: ARM64 / ACPI: Introduce early_param "acpi=" to enable/disable ACPI This implements the following policy to decide whether ACPI should be used to boot the system: - acpi=off: ACPI will not be used to boot the system, even if there is no alternative available (e.g., device tree is empty) - acpi=force: only ACPI will be used to boot the system; if that fails, there will be no fallback to alternative methods (such as device tree) - otherwise, ACPI will be used as a fallback if the device tree turns out to lack a platform description; the heuristic to decide this is whether /chosen is the only node present at depth 1 CC: Catalin Marinas CC: Will Deacon CC: Rafael J.
