The 8250_hisi_lpc.c support both ACPI and dts similar to 8250_dw :

+static struct platform_driver hs_lpc8250_driver = {
+	.driver = {
+		.name		= "hisi-lpc-uart",
+		.of_match_table	= hs8250_of_match,
+		.acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(hs8250_acpi_match),

So, I am a little confused why we need to support dts in 8250_of.c and support ACPI in another
driver file.

best,
Zhichang
