With !ACPI or acpi=no kernel parameter, then acpi_disabled is set and no ACPI function should be called. It always falls back to and only uses OF/devicetree in this case. So there is now way to try devicetree first and then use acpi or vice versa. There is no mixup using acpi or devicetree with the same boot, either one or the other. -Robert -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
