Hello everyone, This set adds support for _DSD buffer properties (specified by DSD Guide <URL:https://github.com/UEFI/DSD-Guide/blob/main/dsd-guide.md>) as well as support for references as strings. Reference property type was previously supported for device objects only, whereas string references enable referencing also _DSD sub-node objects --- also included in the set. The ACPICA patch has been submitted to upstream but not merged yet. This set currently prepares for data node string reference support and does not add it anymore. since v2: - Use C99 _Generic() in patch unifying reading integer arrays. since v1: - Drop the ACPICA, data node child list initialisation and data node string reference patches.
