You can leave this info printing but see below.

I do not follow. If it is just used in ITS driver code to set the ITS
affinity node what's the point of stashing data and adding callbacks
when you can simply parse the SRAT and be done with it ?

Or you have something on top of these patches that require ITS node
information and the calls you added ? If so post the code please.

Regardless, it's ITS specific information, ITS is managed through an
irqchip driver on ARM64 so even if you decided to stash the SRAT ITS
information it does not belong in arch/arm64 IMO, you can implement
acpi_numa_its_affinity_init() in the ITS driver but AFAICS for the time
being it would be just useless that's the point I am making.

Thanks,
