What is the reason to assume that DT is preferred over ACPI? I would have thought that if ACPI is present, then it means we're on an ARM64 server platform, and therefore it should be used. It seems silly to require acpi=force on every ARM64 server platform.
So it looks like there's a whole conversation about this already in this thread that I didn't notice. However, reading through all of it, I still don't understand sure why the presence of ACPI tables is insufficient to enable ACPI. In what situation would we want to ignore ACPI tables that are present?
