Dmytro Maluka 14bce187d1 of/fdt: Restore possibility to use both ACPI and FDT from bootloader 
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.

Commit 7b937cc243 ("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/).

README 

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.
