From ACPIv6 (http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6.0.pdf),
section 6.2.17 _CCA states that ARM platforms require ACPI _CCA object to be
specified for DMA-cabpable devices. This patch introduces ACPI_MUST_HAVE_CCA
in arm and arm64 Kconfig to specify such requirement.

Note that when _CCA is required, if it is missing in the DSDT. ACPI driver
will default to setting up devices as non-coherent.

Any plans for ACPI on 32-bit ARM?

Not that I am aware, but I could be totally wrong. The reason I am adding
this here for 32-bit ARM is because the ACPI spec mentioned this.

If you think this is not necessary until we introduce ACPI for ARM32, it can
be removed.

I think it should be removed (as long as ACPI cannot be selected on
arm32).


Ok, I'll remove that in V2.

Thanks,

Suravee
