ARM64: kernel: acpi: refactor ACPI tables init and checks
Current ACPI init code on ARM64 relies on acpi_table_parse() API to check if the FADT is present and to carry out sanity checks on that. The handler passed to the acpi_table_parse() function and used to carry out the parsing on the requested table returns a value that is ignored by the acpi_table_parse() function, so it is not possible to propagate errors back to the acpi_table_parse() caller through the handler. This forces ARM64 ACPI init code to have disable_acpi() calls scattered all over the place that makes code unwieldy and not easy to follow. This patch refactors the ARM64 ACPI init code, by creating a self-contained function (ie acpi_fadt_sanity_check()) that carries out the required checks on FADT and returns an adequate return value to the caller. This allows creating a common error path that disables ACPI and makes code more readable and easy to parse and change were further checks FADT to be added in the future.
