Some Qualcomm Snapdragon based laptops built to run Microsoft Windows
are clearly ACPI 5.1 based, given that that is the first ACPI revision
that supports ARM, and introduced the FADT 'arm_boot_flags' field,
which has a non-zero field on those systems.

So in these cases, infer from the ARM boot flags that the FADT must be
5.1 or later, and treat it as 5.1.

Makes sense and looks simple to me.

Makes sense, I did actually see this in the wild in SBSA machine too
once.

Could we pleeeeease have this in for v5.3?

We have available, consumer-level platforms that rely on this change.

AFAICS this should be harmless, so:

But we do not have the kernel infrastructure to support them so
I am fine with it but urgency is questionable as far as I am
concerned.

Yes we do.  At least, we will in v5.3.

Obviously it's a firmware bug, but should be harmless,
