It looks like a horrible Apple-ism but I don't know much about ACPI.

The ACPI people are working on device properties to abstract away
all device properties no matter if they come from ACPI, device tree or,
ehm Apple-ACPI, but for now I think it is more important to get
this hardware working upstream and we can think about refactoring
this into device properties for the longer term.
