Matthew Garrett writes about the challenges faced by the developers working on ACPI-based ARM systems. “Somebody is going to need to take responsibility for tracking ACPI behaviour and incrementing the exported interface whenever it changes, and we need to know who that’s going to be before any of these systems start shipping.
