+Testing: Verified kernel defaults to ACPI on Mustang
+
+From: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@redhat.com>
+
+ This patch forces ACPI boot tables to be preferred over DTS.
+
+ Currently for ACPI to be used a user either has to set acpi=on on the
+ kernel command line or make sure any device tree passed to the kernel
+ is empty. If the dtb passed to the kernel is non-empty then device-tree
+ will be chosen as the boot method of choice.
+
+ RHEL does not wish to support this boot method so change table boot
+ preferences to use ACPI. In the event ACPI table checks fail the kernel
+ will fallback to using DTS to boot.
