SDEI usually initialize with the ACPI table, but on platforms where
ACPI is not used, the SDEI feature can still be used to handle
specific firmware calls or other customized purposes. Therefore, it
is not necessary for ARM_SDE_INTERFACE to depend on ACPI_APEI_GHES.

In commit dc4e8c07e9e2 ("ACPI: APEI: explicit init of HEST and GHES
in acpi_init()"), to make APEI ready earlier, sdei_init was moved
into acpi_ghes_init instead of being a standalone initcall, adding
ACPI_APEI_GHES dependency to ARM_SDE_INTERFACE. This restricts the
flexibility and usability of SDEI.

This patch corrects the dependency in Kconfig and allows the
initialization of SDEI without ACPI_APEI_GHES enabled.

Current patch has been verified in the following scenarios:
  - ACPI_APEI_GHES enabled and ARM_SDE_INTERFACE enabled
  - ACPI_APEI_GHES disabled and ARM_SDE_INTERFACE enabled
  - ACPI_APEI_GHES disabled and ARM_SDE_INTERFACE disabled
  - SDEI works well with DT node and compatiable firmware when
    ACPI_APEI_GHES disabled

The scenario where CONFIG_ACPI enabled but not used has not been
considered in this patch due to the absence of such platform.

Yeah, I agree with you actually, but to address the dependency chain 
issue highlighted in commit dc4e8c07e9e2 ("ACPI: APEI: explicit init of 
HEST and GHES in acpi_init()"), where the following relationships need 
to be maintained:

     ghes_init() => acpi_hest_init() => acpi_bus_init() => acpi_init()
     ghes_init() => sdei_init()

I propose splitting sdei_init() into two separate functions: sdei_init() 
and acpi_sdei_init(). This way, sdei_init() will be called by 
arch_initcall and will only initialize the platform driver, while 
acpi_sdei_init() will initialize the device from acpi_ghes_init() when 
ACPI is ready. This approach should help maintain the dependency chain 
without causing any breaks.

     sdei_init --> platform_driver_register
     arch_initcall(sdei_init)

     acpi_init
         acpi_bus_init();
         acpi_hest_init();
         acpi_ghes_init();
             acpi_sdei_init(); --> platform_device_register_simple
     subsys_initcall(acpi_init);
