DT relevance

Dear fellow firmware aficionados,

Static ACPI has been adopted by Mercedes and other silicon vendors to: - meet the safety requirements - stay away from DT lifecycle issues - leverage chiplet and CXL bindings - truly multi-host/hypervisor (or even secure/no-secure should people want it) as bindings are defined in an ad-hoc forum (not by an OS community)

DT community leaders and enthusiasts, I believe discussion on the bigger picture related to DT relevance in the long run may be needed as I believe many embedded solutions will follow Mercedes example.

Constructively yours,

François-Frédéric

PS: static ACPI can be handled by a simple parser, do not execute any ACPI byte code, is findable by EFI tables, code base is even smaller than libfdt.
