This still doesn't sit quite well with me.
Not the process of ACPI using OF artifacts or the possibilty to embed
OF type structures into ACPI tables, but the fact that an OF-only user
(or so they think) should have to care about that special use-case.
What if we make ACPI select OF? Or handle the ACPI case explicitly in
the of_match_ptr() declaration?
