There are cases when the bootloader provides information to the kernel in both ACPI and DTB, not interchangeably. One such use case is virtual machines in Android. When running on x86, the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) boots VMs with ACPI like it is usually done on x86 (i.e. the virtual LAPIC, IOAPIC, HPET, PCI MMCONFIG etc are described in ACPI) but also passes various AVF-specific boot parameters in DTB. This allows reusing the same implementations of various AVF components on both arm64 and x86. Commit7b937cc243("of: Create of_root if no dtb provided by firmware") removed the possibility to do that, since among other things it introduced forcing emptying the bootloader-provided DTB if ACPI is enabled (probably assuming that if ACPI is available, a DTB can only be useful for applying overlays to it afterwards, for testing purposes). So restore this possibility. Instead of completely preventing using ACPI and DT together, rely on arch-specific setup code to prevent using both to set up the same things (see various acpi_disabled checks under arch/).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
