I have tested ACPI-enablement patches for the amd-xgbe/amd-xgbe-phy
drivers that I'm about to submit upstream with the V7 patch series
on the AMD Seattle server platform. There does not appear to be support
for the _CCA attribute in this patch series. The amd-xgbe driver will
setup the device domain and cache attributes based on the presence of
this attribute, but it requires the arch support to assign the proper
DMA operations in order for it to all work correctly.

Overriding the _CCA attribute in the driver, I was able to successfully
test the driver and this patch series.

Thanks,
Tom
