(Nice BKM, thanks for sharing)
I have few questions about using PnP drivers instead of pure ACPI drivers.
ACPI 5.0 defined some new resources, for example "Fixed DMA descriptor"
that has information about the request line + channel for the device to
use. Hovewer, PnP drivers pass resources as 'struct resource', which
basically only has start and end - how do you represent all this new stuff
using 'struct resource'?
Or should we use acpi_walk_resources() where 'struct resource' is not
suitable?
