Referencing hierarchical data nodes
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ACPI in general allows referring to device objects in the tree only.
|
|
Hierarchical data extension nodes may not be referred to directly, hence this
|
|
document defines a scheme to implement such references.
|
|
|
|
A reference consist of the device object name followed by one or more
|
|
hierarchical data extension [1] keys. Specifically, the hierarchical data
|
|
extension node which is referred to by the key shall lie directly under the
|
|
parent object i.e. either the device object or another hierarchical data
|
|
extension node.
|
|
|
|
The keys in the hierarchical data nodes shall consist of the name of the node,
|
|
"@" character and the number of the node in hexadecimal notation (without pre-
|
|
or postfixes). The same ACPI object shall include the _DSD property extension
|
|
with a property "reg" that shall have the same numerical value as the number of
|
|
the node.
|
|
|
|
In case a hierarchical data extensions node has no numerical value, then the
|
|
"reg" property shall be omitted from the ACPI object's _DSD properties and the
|
|
"@" character and the number shall be omitted from the hierarchical data
|
|
extension key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
In the ASL snippet below, the "reference" _DSD property [2] contains a
|
|
device object reference to DEV0 and under that device object, a
|
|
hierarchical data extension key "node@1" referring to the NOD1 object
|
|
and lastly, a hierarchical data extension key "anothernode" referring to
|
|
the ANOD object which is also the final target node of the reference.
|
|
|
|
Device (DEV0)
|
|
{
|
|
Name (_DSD, Package () {
|
|
ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
|
|
Package () {
|
|
Package () { "node@0", NOD0 },
|
|
Package () { "node@1", NOD1 },
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
Name (NOD0, Package() {
|
|
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
|
|
Package () {
|
|
Package () { "random-property", 3 },
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
Name (NOD1, Package() {
|
|
ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
|
|
Package () {
|
|
Package () { "anothernode", ANOD },
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
Name (ANOD, Package() {
|
|
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
|
|
Package () {
|
|
Package () { "random-property", 0 },
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Device (DEV1)
|
|
{
|
|
Name (_DSD, Package () {
|
|
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
|
|
Package () {
|
|
Package () { "reference", ^DEV0, "node@1", "anothernode" },
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
}
