Allowing both CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to be configured
makes no sense at all. Things will surely break if you start using BE
memory accesses while parsing ACPI tables.

Allowing CONFIG_ACPI without CONFIG_EFI makes no sense either, since
on arm64, the only way to find the ACPI tables is through a UEFI
configuration table.

Let's keep your code as is but fix the Kconfig dependencies instead.
