+Description:
+ This attribute indicates the full path of ACPI namespace
+ object associated with the device object. For example,
+ \_SB_.PCI0.
+
+ This file is not present for device objects representing
+ fixed ACPI hardware features (like power and sleep
+ buttons).

+Description:
+ This attribute indicates the PNP IDs of the device object.
+ That is acpi:HHHHHHHH:[CCCCCCC:]. Where each HHHHHHHH or
+ CCCCCCCC contains device object's PNPID (_HID or _CID).
+
+What: /sys/bus/acpi/devices/.../hid
+Date: April 2005
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@rjwysocki.net>
+Description:
+ This attribute indicates the hardware ID (_HID) of the
+ device object. For example, PNP0103.
+ This file is present for device objects having the _HID
+ control method.

+Description:
+ This attribute contains the output of the device object's
+ _STR control method, if present.

+Description:
+ This attribute contains the output of the device object's
+ _ADR control method, which is present for ACPI device
+ objects representing devices having standard enumeration
+ algorithms, such as PCI.

+What: /sys/bus/acpi/devices/.../uid
+Date: October 2012
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@rjwysocki.net>
+Description:
+ This attribute contains the output of the device object's
+ _UID control method, if present.

+Date: December 2006
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@rjwysocki.net>
+Description:
+ Writing 1 to this attribute will trigger hot removal of
+ this device object. This file exists for every device
+ object that has _EJ0 method.

+Date: Jan, 2014

+Description:
+ (RO) Returns the ACPI device status: enabled, disabled or
+ functioning or present, if the method _STA is present.
+
+ The return value is a decimal integer representing the device's
+ status bitmap:
+
+ =========== ==================================================
+ Bit [0] Set if the device is present.
+ Bit [1] Set if the device is enabled and decoding its
+ resources.
+ Bit [2] Set if the device should be shown in the UI.
+ Bit [3] Set if the device is functioning properly (cleared
+ if device failed its diagnostics).
+ Bit [4] Set if the battery is present.
+ Bits [31:5] Reserved (must be cleared)
+ =========== ==================================================
+
+ If bit [0] is clear, then bit 1 must also be clear (a device
+ that is not present cannot be enabled).
+
+ Bit 0 can be clear (not present) with bit [3] set (device is
+ functional). This case is used to indicate a valid device for
+ which no device driver should be loaded.
+
+ More special cases are covered in the ACPI specification.

+What: /sys/bus/acpi/devices/.../hrv
+Date: Apr, 2016
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@rjwysocki.net>
+Description:
+ (RO) Allows users to read the hardware version of non-PCI
+ hardware, if the _HRV control method is present. It is mostly
+ useful for non-PCI devices because lspci can list the hardware
+ version for PCI devices.
