If you agree I think Jon can tell who's the best person to push the quirk RFC (as my understanding is that this mechanism is currently used by some platforms deployed on the market...)
Let me ping Linaro folks to see who has that (quirks) ball. We can certainly share the older OEM matching quirks Mark Salter did for earlier RHEL(SA) internal versions as a seed for that[0] activity.
BUT...I don't think we should block this thread on the quirks. They're separate (but important). I see Arnd's reply as well, but nobody else has yet chimed in to this thread (and I am about to prod all of the vendors to reply to this thread and ACK). Can I ask whether we can't just stage v8 as-is for -next at this point? Can Arnd's (or other) suggestions be handled as followup patches post-merge please? Bjorn?
Jon.
[0] RHEL(SA) has had three different PCIe enabled ACPI stacks maintained independently so far since we need PCIe to boot most of the hundreds of v8 systems we have internal to Red Hat - which all have PCI.
