Did you try to change the relevant variable (responsible for switching
between ACPI and DT) via BootManager menu?
Device Manager -> O/S Hardware Description Selection -> <Device Tree/ACPI>
(F10 to save and then reset, so that it's taken into account when
loading the ACPI modules modules)?
It should work this way if it's done in a generic way, I haven't
studied SolidRun's edk2-platforms code much yet.
Please let me know if it helped.

Best regards,
Marcin
