As I elaborated in the subthread of patch 3 you don't need to care
about ACPI _implementation_, only about _design_ that will give no
obstacles to have the ACPI part be implemented. I may do it in case
somebody prepares internal APIs and data structures for the
interaction with FW (descriptions). That said, you don't need to know
the ACPI details at all. Ask questions in case you are in doubt, I
would be happy to help.
