Reference the ACPI specification instead please. Any link you want to
include in a changelog should use the Link: footer, the linkage to the
inline citation will be obvious.

If we need to initialize the IRQ I'd really like to see device tree
bindings for HACDBSIRQ as well. Pretty much any system us plebs can get
our hands on is gonna be DT anyway.

I have a pretty extreme distaste for creating a state machine between
the callsite and the IRQ handler. The callsite should poll HACDBS for
completion. The thread has nothing better to do anyway.
