So, now is the question, what to do with x86 hardware that has DTS in U-
Boot, but uses ACPI tables, generated by U-Boot.

Would it work properly?

I would try to test it on Intel Edison (I hope you may do this yourself
as well), though I don't know when, have not much time to work with
Edison right now.
