Thanks Sudeep, 
Shouldn't acpi frame work encapsulate descriptor name  while adding resource.
So that driver can rely on platform_get_resource_byname . 
In such way, same driver could be used with device tree and acpi based systems. 

I am not sure, if acpi_evaluate_xx sort of api would work for descriptor-name , even if this does it will be limited to acpi only.
