Nah, looks good :)

Let's keep it simple and add more involved handling when it is really
needed. Thanks!

Btw, that comment:

+/*
+ * acpi_disable_cmcff is used in drivers/acpi/apei/hest.c for disabling
+ * IA-32 Architecture Corrected Machine Checkx(cmc) FIRMWARE_FIRST mode by
+ * boot parameter(acpi=nocmcff). But we don't have this IA-32 specific
+ * feature on ARM64, this definition is only for compatibility.
+ */
+#define acpi_disable_cmcff 1

looks ok, except the small typo:

Architecture Corrected Machine Checkx(cmc)
				    ^
Make that

"IA-32 Architecture Corrected Machine Check (CMC) Firmware-First mode"

Thanks.
