            Bug ID: 11241
           Summary: ACPID shouldn't depend on BR2_x86_64 || BR2_i386
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: happycorsair at yandex.ru
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Nowadays multiple ARM-based devboards provide ACPI, so this restriction is not
a good option anymore. For example I've used standard Buildroot acpi package on
Cubieboard 6 without any issue.

Sorry, what firmware provides ACPI on your cubieboard? Or do you just mean that
some of the functionality of acpid is usable without firmware/kernel support?
drivers/acpi in the Linux kernel is guarded by ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI, which is
selected for arm64/ia64/x86.

With that said, if it builds on other architectures and there are use cases for
it on those, then I don't have a problem exposing it.

Hi, Peter!

I'm not a specialist in ACPI or power management, so please don't blame me a
lot :)

It seems to me, that you are right. All ACPI-related options in Cubieboard 6
kernel config are disabled (it's ARM, not ARM64). But at the same time, acpid
handles power button pushes and powers off the board. If no acpid is running, I
can only reboot the board by long push.

So, it's useful. I found no building issues.
