We are still lacking here. To quote Al, "First version for AMD Seattle has been posted to the public linaro-acpi mailing list for initial review". Sorry but I don't follow linaro-acpi list. I don't know what's in those patches and I can't tell which subsystems they touch, whether maintainers agree with them. So in conclusion, I'm not confident the arm64 hardware ACPI story looks that great yet.
This is solely my fault -- too much time on processes, email, and documentation, not enough time on the Seattle patches. And not enough Seattles to go around for someone else to pick up the slack.
I am aware not everyone is subscribed to linaro-acpi; we use that for internal review before posting more broadly, which is the only reason I sent them there.
I'm in the middle of updating them as I have time, based on really good feedback from Arnd; few of them are terribly new (the very first posting was [0]) -- it's mostly a matter of rebasing, integrating updates from AMD and others, and reacting to the comments. One can also see what these patches will probably look like via one of the Fedora kernel trees [1].
Do you have some simple branch against mainline with just the ACPI core patches and what's required for AMD Seattle? I have no plans to dig through the Fedora kernels.
Nor was I expecting you to; I only added it as additional reference material, should one be interested.
The version of patches sent to the linaro-acpi list are from the Linaro acpi.git tree, and are precisely what you describe; those are the ones being updated.
Catalin,
For Seattle, you could use the https://git.linaro.org/leg/acpi/acpi.git acpi-5.1-v7, and it would also need the AHCI ACPI patch here (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/5/662).
