Is there some upstream project for those ACPI tables? I wouldn't want
to have them all in Buildroot, I'd very much prefer to have a Buildroot
package download them, compile them using the acpica compiler, and
install them in the proper place.

It's fine to have them in Buildroot as a temporary solution, as long as
some upstream is being put in place. But if the long term idea is to
keep those ACPI tables source code in Buildroot, then I don't think
it's what we want to do.

This of course applies to patches 4/9 to 9/9.

Best regards,

Thomas
