Ah sorry, that's the correct way of handling things, I missed
the PNP0c02 matching (which by the way it looks like it is the
right solution to this problem), so I think your implementation is
correct from an ACPI point of view (as long as it is valid to have
a sub-device providing a _CRS whose address space is not contained
in its parent device).
Thanks !
