After I test the ACPICA stubs and remove the only abnormal direct <acpi/acpi.h> inclusion from <linux/sfi_acpi.h>.
We could have a commit to add something like:

#ifndef _LINUX_ACPI_H
#error ....
#endif
To the <acpi/platform/aclinux.h> (the Linux OSL for ACPICA headers, it is included by <acpi/acpi.h>).
Hope this can be the hint to prevent future mistakes.

Thanks and best regards
