Hello everyone,

This set adds support for _DSD buffer properties (specified by DSD Guide
<URL:https://github.com/UEFI/DSD-Guide/blob/main/dsd-guide.md>) as well as
support for references as strings. Reference property type was previously
supported for device objects only, whereas string references enable
referencing also _DSD sub-node objects --- also included in the set.

The ACPICA patch has been submitted to upstream but not merged yet.

Sakari Ailus (11):
ACPI: property: Return type of acpi_add_nondev_subnodes() should be
bool
ACPI: acpica: Constify pathname argument for acpi_get_handle()
ACPI: property: Tie data nodes to acpi handles
ACPI: property: Use acpi_object_type consistently in property ref
parsing
ACPI: property: Move property ref argument parsing into a new function
ACPI: property: Switch node property referencing from ifs to a switch
ACPI: Initialise device child list early to access data nodes early
ACPI: property: Parse data node string references in properties
ACPI: property: Unify integer value reading functions
ACPI: property: Add support for parsing buffer property UUID
ACPI: property: Read buffer properties as integers
