So I take it as the can they go in as separate pull (standalone ACPICA
updates) ?

I was asking to understand how to queue some patches for the upcoming
merge window that have an ACPICA dependency, how are we supposed to
handle that ? I would like to avoid cross tree dependencies, that's why
I asked about the ACPI pull request, so that IORT patches could go via
ACPI tree too this time along with ACPICA changes just trying to make
it simple.

Please let us know, thanks a lot.

Lorenzo
