How does it do that?

As far as I could tell CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_OF are not mutually
exclusive, and this just means that we only build the datastructures for
matching from ACPI when CONFIG_ACPI is enabled.

Have I missed something?

I definitely don't want to see mutually exclusive ACPI and DT support.

Cheers,
Mark.
