ACPI / x86: Work around broken XSDT on Advantech DAC-BJ01 board


commit e702196b upstream.

On this board the ACPI RSDP structure points to both a RSDT and an XSDT,
but the XSDT points to a truncated FADT. This causes all sorts of trouble
and usually a complete failure to boot after the following error occurs:

  ACPI Error: Unsupported address space: 0x20 (*/hwregs-*)
  ACPI Error: AE_SUPPORT, Unable to initialize fixed events (*/evevent-*)
  ACPI: Unable to start ACPI Interpreter

This leaves the ACPI implementation in such a broken state that subsequent
kernel subsystem initialisations go wrong, resulting in among others
mismapped PCI memory, SATA and USB enumeration failures, and freezes.

As this is an older embedded platform that will likely never see any BIOS
updates to address this issue and its default shipping OS only complies to
ACPI 1.0, work around this by forcing `acpi=rsdt`. This patch, applied on
top of Linux 5.10.102, was confirmed on real hardware to fix the issue.
