2025-04-09Documentation: ACPI: Use all-string data node referencesSakari Ailus
Document that references to data nodes shall use string-only references instead of a device reference and a succession of the first package entries of hierarchical data node references.

2021-12-17Documentation: ACPI: Update referencesSakari Ailus
Update references for the ACPI _DSD documentation. In particular: - Substitute _DSD property and hierarchical data extension documents with the newer DSD guide that replaces both, and use its HTML form. - Refer to the latest ACPI spec. - Add data node reference documentation reference to graph documentation.

2021-12-17Documentation: ACPI: Fix data node reference documentationSakari Ailus
The data node reference documentation was missing a package that must contain the property values, instead property name and multiple values being present in a single package. This is not aligned with the _DSD spec. Fix it by adding the package for the values. Also add the missing "reg" properties to two numbered nodes.

2021-06-17docs: firmware-guide: acpi: avoid using ReST :doc:`foo` markupMauro Carvalho Chehab
The :doc:`foo` tag is auto-generated via automarkup.py. So, use the filename at the sources, instead of :doc:`foo`.

2020-07-27ACPI: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS onesAlexander A. Klimov
Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

2019-05-13Documentation: ACPI: Direct references are allowed to devices onlySakari Ailus
In ACPI it is possible to make references to device objects only, not to other objects inside a device. In practice this means that hierarchical data extension targets must be in parentheses to make them strings, or an ACPICA warning will be produced.
