ACPI: property: graph: Update graph documentation to use generic references
Instead of port and endpoint properties for representing ports and endpoints, use the keys of the hierarchical data extension references when referring to the port and endpoint nodes. Additionally, use "reg" properties as in Device Tree to specify the number of the port or the endpoint. The keys of the port nodes begin with "port" and the keys of the endpoint nodes begin with "endpoint", both followed by "@" character and the number of the port or the endpoint. These changes have the advantage that no ACPI specific properties need to be added to refer to non-device nodes. Additionally, using the name of the node instead of an integer property inside the node is easier to parse in code and easier for humans to understand.

All port nodes are located under the device's "_DSD" node in the hierarchical
data extension tree. The data extension related to each port node must begin
-with "port" and must be followed by the number of the port as its key. The
-target object it refers to should be called "PRTX", where "X" is the number of
-the port. An example of such a package would be:

+ Package() { "port@4", PRT4 }
-Further on, endpoints are located under the port nodes. The hierarchical data
-extension key of the endpoint nodes must begin with "endpoint" and must be

The endpoint reference uses property extension with "remote-endpoint" property
name followed by a reference in the same package. Such references consist of the
-the remote device reference, number of the port in the device and finally the
-number of the endpoint in that port. Individual references thus appear as:
+the remote device reference, the first package entry of the port data extension
+reference under the device and finally the first package entry of the endpoint
+data extension reference under the port. Individual references thus appear as:
- Package() { device, port_number, endpoint_number }
+ Package() { device, "port@X", "endpoint@Y" }
+
+In the above example, "X" is the number of the port and "Y" is the number of the
+endpoint.
The references to endpoints must be always done both ways, to the
remote endpoint and back from the referred remote endpoint node.
