+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" },

+
+_DSD
+----
+
+_DSD (Device Specific Data) [7] is a predefined ACPI device
+configuration object that can be used to convey information on
+hardware features which are not specifically covered by the ACPI
+specification [1][6]. There are two _DSD extensions that are relevant
+for graphs: property [4] and hierarchical data extensions [5]. The
+property extension provides generic key-value pairs whereas the
+hierarchical data extension supports nodes with references to other
+nodes, forming a tree. The nodes in the tree may contain properties as
+defined by the property extension. The two extensions together provide
+a tree-like structure with zero or more properties (key-value pairs)
+in each node of the tree.
+
+The data structure may be accessed at runtime by using the device_*
+and fwnode_* functions defined in include/linux/fwnode.h .
+
+Fwnode represents a generic firmware node object. It is independent on
+the firmware type. In ACPI, fwnodes are _DSD hierarchical data
+extensions objects. A device's _DSD object is represented by an
+fwnode.
+
+The data structure may be referenced to elsewhere in the ACPI tables
+by using a hard reference to the device itself and an index to the
+hierarchical data extension array on each depth.
+
+
+Ports and endpoints
+-------------------
+
+The port and endpoint concepts are very similar to those in Devicetree
+[3]. A port represents an interface in a device, and an endpoint
+represents a connection to that interface.
+
+All port nodes are located under the device's "_DSD" node in the hierarchical
+data extension tree. The data extension related to each port node must begin
+with "port" and must be followed by the "@" character and the number of the port
+as its key. The target object it refers to should be called "PRTX", where "X" is
+the number of the port. An example of such a package would be:
+
+ Package() { "port@4", PRT4 }
+
+Further on, endpoints are located under the port nodes. The hierarchical
+data extension key of the endpoint nodes must begin with
+"endpoint" and must be followed by the "@" character and the number of the
+endpoint. The object it refers to should be called "EPXY", where "X" is the
+number of the port and "Y" is the number of the endpoint. An example of such a
+package would be:
+
+ Package() { "endpoint@0", EP40 }
+
+Each port node contains a property extension key "port", the value of which is
+the number of the port. Each endpoint is similarly numbered with a property
+extension key "reg", the value of which is the number of the endpoint. Port
+numbers must be unique within a device and endpoint numbers must be unique
+within a port. If a device object may only has a single port, then the number
+of that port shall be zero. Similarly, if a port may only have a single
+endpoint, the number of that endpoint shall be zero.
+
+The endpoint reference uses property extension with "remote-endpoint" property
+name followed by a reference in the same package. Such references consist of the
+the remote device reference, the first package entry of the port data extension
+reference under the device and finally the first package entry of the endpoint
+data extension reference under the port. Individual references thus appear as:
+
+ Package() { device, "port@X", "endpoint@Y" }
+
+In the above example, "X" is the number of the port and "Y" is the number of the
+endpoint.
+
+The references to endpoints must be always done both ways, to the
+remote endpoint and back from the referred remote endpoint node.
+
+A simple example of this is show below:
+
+ Scope (\_SB.PCI0.I2C2)
+ {
+ Device (CAM0)
+ {
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "compatible", Package () { "nokia,smia" } },
+ },
+ ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "port@0", PRT0 },
+ }
+ })
+ Name (PRT0, Package() {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "reg", 0 },
+ },
+ ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "endpoint@0", EP00 },
+ }
+ })
+ Name (EP00, Package() {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "reg", 0 },
+ Package () { "remote-endpoint", Package() { \_SB.PCI0.ISP, "port@4", "endpoint@0" } },
+ }
+ })
+ }
+ }
+
+ Scope (\_SB.PCI0)
+ {
+ Device (ISP)
+ {
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "port@4", PRT4 },
+ }
+ })
+
+ Name (PRT4, Package() {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "reg", 4 }, /* CSI-2 port number */
+ },
+ ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "endpoint@0", EP40 },
+ }
+ })
+
+ Name (EP40, Package() {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "reg", 0 },
+ Package () { "remote-endpoint", Package () { \_SB.PCI0.I2C2.CAM0, "port@0", "endpoint@0" } },
+ }
+ })
+ }
+ }
+
+Here, the port 0 of the "CAM0" device is connected to the port 4 of
+the "ISP" device and vice versa.
