This is wrong because it narrows down testing coverage.

Besides that you need to define functional and build dependencies separately.

ACPI probably is not what you are using in the driver. I do not believe you have at all dependency on it.

Noted, I will define function and build dependencies separately.
We have our own custom UEFI for BlueField SoCs so ACPI tables are our only options (for users/customer etc... as well)
