Why for this case does it makes sense to not just use acpi_get_pptt()?

Also you don't introduce the acpi_get_table_reg() helper until patch 6.

Similar comment to previous patch. If we are going to make this unified only
can we reflect that in the function name.  I worry this will get reused
and that restriction will surprise.

sizeof(*cache) makes more sense to me.
