Oof I forgot that Rob didn't apply the patch that let an empty root live
on ARM64 ACPI systems. See this thread[1] for all the details.

I think that's the best we can do for now. Basically add a check like

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64) && acpi_disabled)
		kunit_skip(test, "ARM64 + ACPI rejects DT overlays");

to the overlay application function and the DT test.

That DT test has been there for a few releases. Is this the first time
those tests have been run on arm64+acpi? I didn't try after sending the
patches and forgot that the patch was dropped.

How are you running kunit tests? I installed the qemu-efi-aarch64 debian
package to get QEMU_EFI.fd but passing that to the kunit.py run command
with --qemu_args="-bios /usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd" didn't
get me beyond the point that the EFI stub boots linux. I think the
serial console must not be working and thus the kunit wrapper waits for
something to show up but nothing ever does. I haven't dug any further
though, so maybe you have a working command.

Here's my command that isn't working:

./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch=arm64 --kunitconfig=drivers/of --qemu_args="-bios /usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd"
