Ok, how about this patch below, is it reasonable to you?

Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Introduce CONFIG_ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE to enable
 reduced hardware

If we want to enable reduced hardware ACPI on some platform (such as ARM),
we need to modify the kernel code and set ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE to TRUE.

This is not reasonable, so introduce a kernel config to enable it, and
no need for kernel modification when we use hardware-reduced ACPI.
