The first 12 patches for ACPI platform MSI and later 3 patches
for mbigen have no "physical" dependency, which means they can
be merged and compiled independently, they only have functional
dependency only.

We already had SAS, XGE, USB and even UART drivers depend on
the mbigen ACPI support, so I don't think the dependency of ACPI
platform MSI and mbigen patches cares much if those two parts are
merged in one merge window, even they are merged independently via
different tree.

So in my opinion, they can be merged independently via ARM64 and
irqchip tree with no ordering dependency, is it OK?

Thanks
