The patches for Juno are not intrusive. The only problem I have is giving the wrong example on how to deal with the platform-specific device information like this patch. I would much prefer to use _DSD (once we agree on how to do this) than hard-coding information based on the ACPI device id (you would need one for each SoC). I don't think we have reached an agreement yet:
