Re: [PATCH v2 1/3] riscv: obtain ACPI RSDP from FFI.

Hey,
%subject: riscv: obtain ACPI RSDP from FFI.

This subject is a bit unhelpful because FFI would commonly mean "foreign
function interface" & you have not yet introduced it. It seems like it
would be better to do s/FFI/devicetree/ or similar.
Please also drop the full stop from the commit messages ;)

Please use a cover letter for multi-patch series & include changelogs.

+CC Sunil, Alex:

Can you guys please take a look at this & see if it is something that we
want to do (ACPI without EFI)?

RISC-V already supports ACPI, the "we" in this commit message is
confusing. Who is "we"? Bytedance?

We support ACPI, so this seems inaccurate. Could you explain it better
please?

Please use the long form of "FFI" before using the short form, since you
are inventing this & noone knows what it means yet.

This patch doesn't do that though?

Please add this in alphabetical order, these entries have recently been
resorted. That said, maintainers entry for a trivial file in arch code
seems a wee bit odd, seems like it would be better suited rolled up into
your other entry for the interface, like how Ard's one looks for EFI?

I don't understand your Kconfig setup. Why don't you just have one
option (the one from patch 2/3), instead of adding 2 different but
similarly named options?

How come this is not set in Kconfig like HAVE_FOO options usually are?

/stuff/linux/drivers/acpi/osl.c:178:22: error: redefinition of 'acpi_rsdp' with a different type: 'unsigned long' vs 'u64' (aka 'unsigned long long')

Fails to build when Kexec is enabled.

Same comments here about undocumented DT properties and pr_*()s that
likely are not wanted (or correct).

What happens if, on a system with "normal" ACPI support, ffi_init() is
called & ffi_acpi_root_pointer() calls things like fdt_path_offset()?

What provides ffi_init() if CONFIG_FFI is disabled?
