Hi Sami,

Thank you for the review.
Regarding the use of Dynamic Tables Framework, there are no short term plans to migrate to it. Please find my response for your comment inline -

Hi Rohit,

Have you considered moving to use Dynamic Tables Framework? There is
just too much repetition in this series which can be easily avoided. It
will also make the code more maintainable.

Apart from this I have a comment marked inline as [SAMI].

Regards,

Sami Mujawar

Add a new device entry in the SSDT ACPI table to describe the serial

the UART0 port of the SoC is used as the debug port.

[SAMI] Any reason for not using  ARMHB000 (see Section 2.3 of the ACPI
for Arm Components 1.1 specification)?
[Rohit]: COM1 is based on PL011. Since PL011 would satisfy SBSA compliance, we have used PL011's HID.

[SAMI] Following is an extract from Section 2.3 of the 'ACPI for Arm Components 1.1' specification.

"Some operating systems use the PL011 HID (see Table 5 above)
to bind to the Arm Generic UART in the system. While this
practice is flawed and not encouraged by Arm, Arm
acknowledges that it must be permitted until formal support for
the Arm Generic UART HID is made available in these operating
systems.
Arm strongly recommends use of the Arm Generic UART HID
going forward."

1. The Arm Generic UART is a subset of PL011. This means using the ARMHB000 should not be an issue.

2. This file is common to all platforms in SgiPkg, which are infrastructure platforms.

3. Some opreating systems (like Linux) have already integrated support for ARMHB000.

    Ref: serial: pl011: Add ACPI SBSA UART match id

Considering the above, I think ARMHB000 should be used, here.
