Thank you very much.

Our current approach, as you can see in the patch, is the opposite.  If 
ACPI is being used, prefer that over the OF device tree.

You seem to be recommending precedence for OF.  It should be consistent 
across all drivers/sub-systems, so do you really think that OF before 
ACPI is the way to go?
