The patch set is tagged RFC and I see that comments you got a lot of, so I'm looking forward to see what is happening. I have identified the following stakeholders: - Irina, Octavian, Mika: want to use ACPI for pin control, their draft idea is expressed in this RFC - Mark R, Mark B, Graeme + more: want to avoid clashes with existing or upcoming ACPI standardization attempts - Rafael as ACPI maintainer for Linux, he seems to be in the same diplomatic middle-ground as I am Clearly this is too high level of conflicting interests for me to proceed with this proposal as it stands today. If however we see products deployed using this method as put forward in the proposal, there is not much to do: we will just have to support it. I am just hoping that this is not happening as we speak. I am somewhat waiting for the ACPI crowd to bring a counter-proposal to the table. Or some statement of when they would be able to present one: I certainly understand that standardization takes time. DT and ACPI both suffer from the fact that they sometimes need big upfront design.
