E.g. this bit from DisCo for Imaging 1.0 (Annex B.1):

	Package () {
	    "mipi-img-flash-leds",
	    Package () {
		"\\_SB.PCI0.I2C2.LEDD.LED0",
		"\\_SB.PCI0.I2C2.LEDD.LED1"
	    },
	},

It's a property with a string reference to an ACPI non-device node,
although you can refer to device nodes as well.

You can get the spec from here:
