There's a lot of drivers use of_match_ptr/ACPI_PTR to protect the of_device_id and

have explicit headers file references to linux/acpi.h or linux/of.h, such as

drivers/media/platform/intel/pxa_camera.c,

bluetooth/hci_intel.c, 

platform/x86/intel/chtwc_int33fe.c,

platform/x86/intel/pmc/core.c and so on.


The acpi.h and of.h have a nice function or macro definition if CONFIG_OF/ACPI is not satisfy,

for example:

#define ACPI_PTR(_ptr)  (_ptr)  vs  #define ACPI_PTR(_ptr)  (NULL)

and also a lot of 'static inline' function there.


Seems a good idea to remove all of them, the codes your noted may look a bit verbose there ,

But I think it is valuable for a driver and device ,telling users it support acpi boot or is it just embedded.


Thanks for review.

Best Regards.
