Thanks Hanjun for filling in the info.

Yes, this is mainly to document the logic changes required by Juno,
which would be more clear than just merging this change in the later patch.

We could have used CONFIG_ACPI_CCA_REQUIRED here, but this will be
replaced by logic in patch 5, and removed in patch 6 anyways. So, I
think it is okay. Eventually, the rest of the logic will be using
CONFIG_ACPI_CCA_REQUIRED.

I also agree with Hanjun that the CCA parsing should be handled by the
ACPI core driver. Since we are using the CONFIG_ACPI_CCA_REQUIRED, we
should not need to have arch-specific code. If the ACPI spec gets more
complicate in the future, we can revisit this. :)

Thanks,
Suravee
