We have different opinions on this, there is no point in me reiterating
it over and over, I am against the approach taken to solve this problem
first in defining the bindings outside the ACPI specifications and
second by acquiescing to what has been done so that it will be done
over and over again.

I will raise the point in the appropriate forum, it is up to Bjorn
and Rafael to decide on this patch.
