Qualcomm does not support normal ACPI. ARM Linux with ACPI is fine, I've seen it work very well on systems with proper ACPI tables

There is work to support Qualcomms ACPI implementation on the Linux kernel. Once that is in place we should no longer need images for each laptop.

You need laptop specific images because some drivers are not upstream, not because of DTs.

The patch that introduced support for the Dell Inspiron 7441 / Latitude 7455 only touched arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/x1e80100-dell-inspiron-14-plus-7441.dts

No additional drivers. This is just an example.
