I've just talked to Suzuki about this:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/20230726140515.368981-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com

This patch has received a Reviewed-by from Sudeep which for all
purposes should be sufficient for any ARM-related ACPI material that
doesn't affect any other architectures.  An ACK from me (or Len for
that matter) would not make any real difference from the technical
perspective.

I would appreciate assigning an official ARM maintainer to acpi_amba.c
so as to avoid such unnecessary delays in the future.
