If it remains, I fear that there could be subtle problems in the future depending on which header is included first in a compilation unit. It sounds now like the only correct way to get fw_table.h included is transitively via linux/acpi.h (of note: lib/fw_table.c will have to be updated; it's the only file that currently breaks this rule) so that removal will just help enforce this. Plus, includes in the middle of non-preprocessor declarations are a (sometimes necessary, definitely not here) code smell, in my view.

If I remove linux/acpi.h as well in fw_table.h and place linux/acpi.h in fw_table.c before fw_table.h inclusion, it now seems to solve my build issue. Will that work? I'll send a v2.
