Ok, I see. This is a bit disappointing because it's actually the third
attempt to come up with a reference platform (after Exynos and X-Gene),
and it always seems to come down to deciding that this particular
platform doesn't really work with ACPI beyond basic booting.

Which platform(s) are you talking about? Are you sure it will be better
suited than the first three?
