[PATCH v2 0/8] ACPI: Buffer property and reference as string support

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.

This set currently prepares for data node string reference support and
does not add it anymore.

since v1:

- Drop the ACPICA, data node child list initialisation and data node
string reference patches.

Sakari Ailus (8):
ACPI: property: Return type of acpi_add_nondev_subnodes() should be
bool
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: property: Unify integer value reading functions
ACPI: property: Add support for parsing buffer property UUID
ACPI: property: Read buffer properties as integers
