That's not the issue. By default CONFIG_ACPI is enabled for arm64 but 
for Tegra we typically boot with device-tree. So I was more concerned 
about the case where ACPI_COMPANION_SET() is not an empty function.

No need, especially as Thierry has already applied. I am not familiar 
with this function and primary/secondary fwnodes so wanted to understand 
there is no issue for device tree.
