The patches for Juno are not intrusive. The only problem I have is
giving the wrong example on how to deal with the platform-specific
device information like this patch. I would much prefer to use _DSD
(once we agree on how to do this) than hard-coding information based on
the ACPI device id (you would need one for each SoC). I don't think we
have reached an agreement yet:

I think we do want this upstreamed. Juno is intended to be a readily
available reference platform, regardless of the firmware loaded when
shipped. There will be users who use it as a test platform for ACPI

However, in the case of MAC devices where you might need to specify just
a couple of properties using _DSD, a specific set of discussions has
been instigated. As you mentioned, though, this pertains only to certain
devices and isn't necessarily true for every Ethernet device.
Consequently, while a Juno PoC patch might use a kludge today, that
doesn't mean it's a limitation of ACPI, just of certain devices.

Our intention is specifically not to use "random incompatible bindings"

The way I recall the discussion, most people were on one extreme
side of the discussion or the other:

a) We should use _DSD for ARM64 servers to maximize code reuse with
DT-enabled drivers, work around the slow UEFI standardization process,
remain in control of the actual bindings, and avoid the need for
endless per-ID platform-data definitions in drivers.

b) We should never use _DSD at all, since doing that would have no
advantage over using DT directly, and we should force every device
manufacturer to specify their bindings in an official ACPI document
to prevent random incompatible bindings from being established.
Any device that shows up in servers should not need arbitrary detailed
properties anyway, as the details are supposed to be hidden in AML.

I can understand the reasons for both approaches, and I find it hard
to say either one is invalid. However, the worst possible outcome in
my opinion would be having to support a mix of the two.

 Right, and the x86 embedded folks are going full steam ahead with _DSD
 regardless so it seems there will be some systems out there using it
 even if they're not ARM servers.

Our intention is specifically not to use random incompatible bindings
in that.  We'd rather have a common venue and process for establishing
new bindings for both DT and _DSD in a compatible way.

I think Catalin is referring to ACPI_HANDLE used without any #ifdefs

Catalin, few macros like ACPI_HANDLE and ACPI_PTR are defined in
include/linux/acpi.h even when CONFIG_ACPI is not set mainly to
avoid #ifdef's around simple assignments like the above one and one
in platform_driver.acpi_match_table


My comment was to Graeme who said that #ifdef's were needed because
acpi_handle (lowercase) was not defined in the !CONFIG_ACPI case.
However, further down in the patch it was used without any #ifdef's.



Ah OK, I misunderstood. In that case Graeme statement is wrong.
IIRC acpi_handle is not structure, it's just a ptr used for object
references in ACPI namespace and is available even when !CONFIG_ACPI

It is possible I confused myself as some types moved around in ACPI

That should be easy to fix, and a good idea in general, independent
of this patch.
We generally make function declarations and type definitions visible
(possibly empty) for disabled subsystems so the code using them
silently goes away when that subsystem is disabled.

Not sure if we are planning to actually upstream this patch, I guess it
depends if ARM start shipping Junos with the ACPI tables loaded on them.

Please remove the #ifdef and use 

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ACPI) || !ahandle)

to check for ACPI support. This should result in the same object code
in all cases, but give better compile-time coverage when ACPI is
disabled.

Confused. Then how come smsc911x_drv_probe() has this line:



acpi_handle *ahandle = ACPI_HANDLE(pdev-dev);



without any #ifdef's.


There's a stub smsc911x_probe_config_acpi() provided in the non-ACPI
case, Arnd's suggestion is basically to remove the stub.



I think Catalin is referring to ACPI_HANDLE used without any #ifdefs

Catalin, few macros like ACPI_HANDLE and ACPI_PTR are defined in
include/linux/acpi.h even when CONFIG_ACPI is not set mainly to
avoid #ifdef's around simple assignments like the above one and one
in platform_driver.acpi_match_table


My comment was to Graeme who said that #ifdef's were needed because
acpi_handle (lowercase) was not defined in the !CONFIG_ACPI case.
However, further down in the patch it was used without any #ifdef's.



Ah OK, I misunderstood. In that case Graeme statement is wrong.
IIRC acpi_handle is not structure, it's just a ptr used for object
references in ACPI namespace and is available even when !CONFIG_ACPI
