Hi Jim,
It's been a while, since I sent the patch. Any objections about merging?
Is v4.11 kernel still a valid baseline or for the next releases or we should use v4.14? When is that transition and next release supposed to happen?
The current version of the supported kernel is 4.14, so this would need to be updated to support the 4.14 tree.

Hi,
I'm sending a patch that is applicable on top of the kernel sig-altarch7-aarch64 branch. It enables ACPI support for the Marvell Armada7k8k NIC - this required backporting very big amount of patches (all merged upstream), hence I decided to attach the single commit, instead of issueing 'git send-email' of it.
Once we got to 4.14, there didn't seem to be a demand for the sig-altarch kernel to continue so I left it at the previous version.
From the sounds of things, you still need it for this to work?
Despite many attempts I wasn't able to build entire rpm package with the mock build utility, however I managed to test the clean kernel v4.11 with applied all patches and built with updated .config. Please let know if this patch is sufficient and can be merged.
I'm guessing no unless it patches/builds against 4.14 as well. I'll see about updating the sig-altarch tree so that we can test there.
