I will move some definitions out of preprocessor conditional and
introduce some stub function when CONFIG_ACPI is disabled, then
I think I can remove all the preprocessor conditionals in .c file.

Agreed.

I like this :)

In ACPI, there is no enable-method property, it is a term from, so I think the
