Marc, thank you for the help, I tested your patches on D03, I got:

[    0.000000] arm_arch_timer: Enabling global workaround for HiSilicon erratum 161010101
[    0.000000] arm_arch_timer: CPU0: Trapping CNTVCT access

in the boot log, which means the framework and ACPI patches work fine.

Thanks
Hanjun
