Doesn't matter, it's the same as [3].

No, you didn't just get how it's supposed to work.

You may read [6] as example how PRP0001 would be used if needed.

Rafael is right there, you can't add PRP0001 *explicitly* in the list.

Moreover, Rafael explicitly told you what to do:

"So the entire ACPI block can be dropped for now.
And the driver doesn't have to depend on CONFIG_ACPI any more, does it?"

By some unknown reason you decide on your own how to proceed.
