It would be nice if you could still include the dts sources in the submission.
Since this is not a classic server hardware, DT is probably more suitable
here, and there are likely use cases that won't work with ACPI, so it's
good to have a starting point for your users if they need to override
the ACPI tables with a DT, or build systems with a simpler boot loader.
