Is this ordering requirement documented anywhere? I don't see it in
the RISC-V ECRs to the ACPI r6.5 spec.

I guess the implication is that you need to process MADT structures in
order of ascending acpi_madt_type:

ACPI_MADT_TYPE_RINTC = 24,
ACPI_MADT_TYPE_IMSIC = 25,
ACPI_MADT_TYPE_APLIC = 26,
ACPI_MADT_TYPE_PLIC = 27,

regardless of the order they appear in the MADT? I.e., process all
the RINTC structures (in order of appearance in MADT), followed by all
the IMSIC structures, then all the APLIC structures, etc?

But this comment seems to contradict the commit log. This comment
says you should process MADT structures in the order they appear in
the MADT. But if that were the case, you wouldn't need to sort
anything.

Maybe "defined in the order they should be probed" means "in order of
increasing Interrupt Controller structure type value"?
