I fear this is optimistic. It's fairly idiomatic for ACPI for stuff like this to be keyed off DMI information rather than integrated with anything, basically once you get out of the bits that are explictly standardized you're into board file territory. There is the _DSD stuff for using DT properties in ACPI but it's had limited use AFAICT.
