This patch provides basic support for booting with ACPI instead
of the currently supported Device Tree.  When doing so there are a
couple of differences which we need to taken into consideration.

Firstly, the SDM850 ACPI tables omit information pertaining to the
4 reserved GPIOs on the platform.  If Linux attempts to touch/
initialise any of these lines, the firmware will restart the
platform.

Secondly, when booting with ACPI, it is expected that the firmware
will set-up things like; Regulators, Clocks, Pin Functions, etc in
their ideal configuration.  Thus, the possible Pin Functions
available to this platform are not advertised when providing the
higher GPIOD/Pinctrl APIs with pin information.

History
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 Restructured Text 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.
