Hi Will,

Can you confirm your stance on supporting this workaround for DT as well 
as ACPI?

For us, we now only "officially" support ACPI FW, and DT support at this 
point is patchy/limited. To me, adding DT support is just more errata 
workaround code to maintain with little useful gain.

Thanks very much,
John
