FFI: FDT FIRMWARE INTERFACE.
You are right, s/FFI/devicetree/ is of course possible， but I actually
want to use FFI as a general solution, put all relevant codes under
driver/firmware/, and use RISC-V arch to call general codes.
In this case, only one Kconfig CONFIG_FDT_FW_INTERFACE is enough， and
The FFI code will be placed first in the patchset.
But Ard's suggestion is to put the part of SMBIOS in the generic code,
and put the FFI for ACPI in the RISCV arch.
Please see the v1:
https://patches.linaro.org/project/linux-acpi/patch/20230426034001.16-1-cuiyunhui@bytedance.com/
Put the following to /driver/firmware/ffi.c , What do you think?
void __init ffi_acpi_root_pointer(void)
{
...
}

Okay, thanks.

OK, On v3 I would use.

Yes, Sunil already supports ACPI, But it is based on EDK2 boot which
supports EFI.
In fact, We use Coreboot which has the features of a and b above.

Similar problems may be encountered on other arches, which is also the
purpose of this sentence.

OK, let me try it， and use the Kconfig CONFIG_FDT_FW_INTERFACE. EFI
seems to use two...

This is modeled after x86 historical code.

Rename my acpi_rsdp to arch_acpi_rsdp? WDYT?

Okay，update it on v3.

According to the current logic, get it from FFI is enabled, if can
not, continue to use “normal” ACPI.
