Yes, it should be disabled if pnpacpi is enabled.
But even if pnpacpi is disabled, pnp/system.c sould work with pnpbios.
The only concern is
motherboard.c also request some ACPI resources, which might not declaim
in ACPI motherboard device, but it's completely BIOS dependent. We might
could try remove it at -mm tree to see if it breaks any system later.
Ok,
may be we should split in 2 modules : the one that request some ACPI
resources and the other that use PNP resource.
PS : I saw in acpi ols paper that you plan once all dupe acpi drivers
will be removed to register again the pnp device in acpi layer. Do you
plan to add more check and for example add only device that have a CRS
in pnp layer ?
For detecting PNP device? it's worthy trying.
I will send a patch for that.
