Cite PCI Firmware spec if possible. If it hasn't been incorporated
yet, at least include the exact name of the ECN and the date it was
approved.
Say what the patch does in the commit log (in addition to the subject
line).

No useful value in this #define. If the value ever changes, code
changes will be required too.

Move to the list in pci-acpi.h with name similar to others.

Return 0 or -errno. "invoke_dsm" is not a predicate with an obvious
true/false meaning.

Must check whether this _DSM function is implemented first, e.g., see
acpi_enable_dpc().
