Testing: Verified kernel defaults to ACPI on Mustang
From: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@redhat.com>
This patch forces ACPI boot tables to be preferred over DTS.
Currently for ACPI to be used a user either has to set acpi=on on the
kernel command line or make sure any device tree passed to the kernel
is empty. If the dtb passed to the kernel is non-empty then device-tree
will be chosen as the boot method of choice.
RHEL does not wish to support this boot method so change table boot
preferences to use ACPI. In the event ACPI table checks fail the kernel
will fallback to using DTS to boot.
