I am also worried about this.

I have felt that the device property paradigm is too ambitious and assume
too much about the subtle semantic differences between DT and ACPI
DSDT. But maybe I'm just whiney.

Looking forward to good ideas on how to solve this!

Mika: is is possible to revert this without breaking something else, if we
need to?
