+ACPI device objects
+===================
+
+Generally speaking, there are two categories of devices in a system in which
+ACPI is used as an interface between the platform firmware and the OS: Devices
+that can be discovered and enumerated natively, through a protocol defined for
+the specific bus that they are on (for example, configuration space in PCI),
+without the platform firmware assistance, and devices that need to be described
+by the platform firmware so that they can be discovered. Still, for any device
+known to the platform firmware, regardless of which category it falls into,
+there can be a corresponding ACPI device object in the ACPI Namespace in which
+case the Linux kernel will create a struct acpi_device object based on it for
+that device.
+
+Those struct acpi_device objects are never used for binding drivers to natively
+discoverable devices, because they are represented by other types of device
+objects (for example, struct pci_dev for PCI devices) that are bound to by
+device drivers (the corresponding struct acpi_device object is then used as
+an additional source of information on the configuration of the given device).
+Moreover, the core ACPI device enumeration code creates struct platform_device
+objects for the majority of devices that are discovered and enumerated with the
+help of the platform firmware and those platform device objects can be bound to
+by platform drivers in direct analogy with the natively enumerable devices
+case. Therefore it is logically inconsistent and so generally invalid to bind
+drivers to struct acpi_device objects, including drivers for devices that are
+discovered with the help of the platform firmware.
+
+Historically, ACPI drivers that bound directly to struct acpi_device objects
+were implemented for some devices enumerated with the help of the platform
+firmware, but this is not recommended for any new drivers. As explained above,
+platform device objects are created for those devices as a rule (with a few
+exceptions that are not relevant here) and so platform drivers should be used
+for handling them, even though the corresponding ACPI device objects are the
+only source of device configuration information in that case.
+
+For every device having a corresponding struct acpi_device object, the pointer
+to it is returned by the ACPI_COMPANION() macro, so it is always possible to
+get to the device configuration information stored in the ACPI device object
+this way. Accordingly, struct acpi_device can be regarded as a part of the
+interface between the kernel and the ACPI Namespace, whereas device objects of
+other types (for example, struct pci_dev or struct platform_device) are used
+for interacting with the rest of the system.

+Named Interrupts
+================
+
+Drivers enumerated via ACPI can have names to interrupts in the ACPI table
+which can be used to get the IRQ number in the driver.
+
+The interrupt name can be listed in _DSD as 'interrupt-names'. The names
+should be listed as an array of strings which will map to the Interrupt()
+resource in the ACPI table corresponding to its index.
+
+The table below shows an example of its usage::

+PCI hierarchy representation
+============================
+
+Sometimes it could be useful to enumerate a PCI device, knowing its position on
+the PCI bus.
+
+For example, some systems use PCI devices soldered directly on the mother board,
+in a fixed position (ethernet, Wi-Fi, serial ports, etc.). In this conditions it
+is possible to refer to these PCI devices knowing their position on the PCI bus
+topology.
+
+To identify a PCI device, a complete hierarchical description is required, from
+the chipset root port to the final device, through all the intermediate
+bridges/switches of the board.
+
+For example, let's assume we have a system with a PCIe serial port, an
+Exar XR17V3521, soldered on the main board. This UART chip also includes
+16 GPIOs and we want to add the property ``gpio-line-names`` [1] to these pins.
+In this case, the ``lspci`` output for this component is::
+
+ 07:00.0 Serial controller: Exar Corp. XR17V3521 Dual PCIe UART (rev 03)
+
+The complete ``lspci`` output (manually reduced in length) is::

+ | +-02.0-[08]----00.0
+ | \-03.0-[09]--
+ ...
+ \-1f.1
+
+To describe this Exar device on the PCI bus, we must start from the ACPI name
+of the chipset bridge (also called "root port") with address::
+
+ Bus: 0 - Device: 14 - Function: 1
+
+To find this information, it is necessary to disassemble the BIOS ACPI tables,
+in particular the DSDT (see also [2])::
+
+ mkdir ~/tables/
+ cd ~/tables/
+ acpidump > acpidump
+ acpixtract -a acpidump
+ iasl -e ssdt?.* -d dsdt.dat
+
+Now, in the dsdt.dsl, we have to search the device whose address is related to
+0x14 (device) and 0x01 (function). In this case we can find the following
+device::
+
+ Scope (_SB.PCI0)
+ {
+ ... other definitions follow ...
+ Device (RP02)
+ {
+ Method (_ADR, 0, NotSerialized) // _ADR: Address
+ {
+ If ((RPA2 != Zero))
+ {
+ Return (RPA2) /* \RPA2 */
+ }
+ Else
+ {
+ Return (0x00140001)
+ }
+ }
+ ... other definitions follow ...
+
+and the _ADR method [3] returns exactly the device/function couple that
+we are looking for. With this information and analyzing the above ``lspci``
+output (both the devices list and the devices tree), we can write the following
+ACPI description for the Exar PCIe UART, also adding the list of its GPIO line
+names::
+
+ Scope (_SB.PCI0.RP02)
+ {
+ Device (BRG1) //Bridge
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0x0000)
+
+ Device (BRG2) //Bridge
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0x00010000)
+
+ Device (EXAR)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0x0000)
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),

+ "",
+ "",
+ "aux_1",

+ "aux_3",
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ })
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+The location "_SB.PCI0.RP02" is obtained by the above investigation in the
