okay so just to double check it's 2026 and Linux still doesn't have a way to attach non-plug-and-play drivers on ACPI-booted systems that isn't writing an SSDT right? can ACPI even represent things like a USB-I2C bridge?

actually no that only works until acpi is initialized. seems like an ssdt overlay is what's needed

To this day, (it's even worse with older phones) you can't have a generic Linux image that works across all phones.
People don't understand that the fact you can put basically any Linux distro on about any PC from the last 20 years is no accident
It's because they all have BIOS/ACPI
Arm doesn't

Omg episode 2 is sounding so good, I’m so proud! Still have sfx to add but soon my loves soon. In the meantime check out episode 1 of ACPI Case Files: Mortician’s Assistant where you listen. #audiostory #audiodrama #writtenbyme #writers

Every new Linux kernel (or almost every one) has a host of new device tree info added to it each cycle.
But it's nowhere (not even remotely) as comprehensive as ACPI tables and BIOS support in the x86 PC world.
And that's the core of WHY you can't just *put generic Linux on any phone* sadly 😔

thanks!
20+ years ago i had a compaq that was plagued with linux acpi issues to the point i had to build my own kernels with a patch but to actually compile it without crashing i'd have to put the laptop in my fridge.
nice to see things haven't changed much.

earlier I added support for an AMD IOMMU and SVM, and 32-bit real/protected mode. unfortunately ACPI might be next because I want to mess around with Windows, for reasons.

Absolutely! 😄 That message largely disappeared once ACPI allowed Windows to power off compatible PCs automatically. Back then, shutting down Windows didn't always mean the computer actually turned off. Anyone else remember waiting for that screen?
