+FFI(FDT FIRMWARE INTERFACE) driver
+
+Required properties:
+ - entry		: acpi or smbios root pointer, u64
+ - reg			: acpi or smbios version, u32
+
+Some bootloaders, such as Coreboot do not support EFI,
+only devicetree and some arches do not have a reserved
+address segment. Add "ffitbl" subnode to obtain ACPI RSDP
+and SMBIOS entry.
+This feature is known as FDT Firmware Interface (FFI).
+
+Example:
+	ffitbl {
+
+		smbios {
+				entry = "";
+				reg = < 0x03 >;
+
+		}
+		acpi {
+				entry = "";
+				reg = < 0x06 >;
+
+		}
+	}
