It sounds like from the discussions in other threads that ARM64 should be following x86 and re-using DT bindings here. In which case there is not need to submit things to UEFI organisation.
What I got a little lost in has there been a formal decision about DT bindings in _DSD?
I think this is a discussion that still needs to happen: either we should recommend everyone to use _DSD in favor of the alternatives, or we should prohibit the use of _DSD. I have heard arguments both ways, but hopefully we can find an easy answer.
This discussion is just not going to happen until people at @redhat.com and people who have currently announced/released hardware are actually willing to start talking about it.
OTOH, there doesn't seem to be any urgency for merging arm64 ACPI support, so this discussion can wait ;).
Id love to be able to put my foot down and ban the use of _DSD for servers but I suspect that will not happen.
And the alternative would be hard-coded platform specific configuration (or we assume that such configuration isn't needed)?
