PNPACPI parses the device resources for you, so you could get rid of the _CRS stuff in your driver. The only reason PNP and ACPI don't have .shutdown is because nobody has needed it yet. If you need it (and it sounds like you do), I think the cleanest thing would be to add it to PNP and turn your driver into a PNP driver.
