Please allow me to explain a little bit before Olof's confirmation, please don't mind if
any offended.

Yes, it will. Since ACPI is default OFF (disabled), if a dtb provided, and no acpi=force
passed in the early command line, dtb will be used as system configuration for
boot (dtb is always the prior one for now) [1]. In acpi_gic_init() which called by
acpi_irq_init(), it will return immediately if acpi disabled, so it will not parse
any ACPI table for device configuration.
