Wouldn't the core ACPI code never call this function if ACPI is disabled?

So you have marked the timer as initialized, but then may fail on
error later on here.

This is for memory mapped timer? If so, then isn't setting
ARCH_CP15_TIMER the wrong thing to do?

Really, I think the kernel should just ignore the secure interrupt.
The DT code has the same issue, but that doesn't affect the code size.

Why not use the already defined linux irq trigger types here and make
acpi_register_gsi use them?

Who did the mapping? acpi_get_table_with_size? I think the core code
should handle the mapping and unmapping of ACPI tables. We don't want
to have to duplicate this in every initialization function. This seems
error prone.
