The UEFI specification clearly describes how to hand over ACPI tables. I
can't see why bloblists should be of any relevance in the UEFI context.

With this description it is unclear if you used QFW to install ACPI
tables which would not test the code below.

Please, cc maintainers as reported by scripts/get_maintainers in future.

Please, provide a function description.

There is no ROM involved here. Please, use meaningful variable names.

Why would you want to call write_acpi_tables() twice on the sandbox? See

board/sandbox/sandbox.c:180:
             end = write_acpi_tables(addr);

We should remove the redundant code from board/sandbox/sandbox.c with
this patch.

The UEFI specification wants ACPI tables to reside in
EfiACPIReclaimMemory. Neither bloblist_add() nor memalign() should be
used here.

Please, use log_debug().

This check is too late. We must ensure that write_acpi_table() does not
overwrite unallocated memory.

ditto
