[PATCH v3 0/8] ACPI: Buffer property and reference as string support

[Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com>]

Hello everyone,

This set adds support for _DSD buffer properties (specified by DSD Guide
<URL:https://github.com/UEFI/DSD-Guide/blob/main/dsd-guide.md>) as well as
support for references as strings. Reference property type was previously
supported for device objects only, whereas string references enable
referencing also _DSD sub-node objects --- also included in the set.

The ACPICA patch has been submitted to upstream but not merged yet.

This set currently prepares for data node string reference support and
does not add it anymore.

since v2:

- Use C99 _Generic() in patch unifying reading integer arrays.

since v1:

- Drop the ACPICA, data node child list initialisation and data node
  string reference patches.

Sakari Ailus (8):
  ACPI: property: Return type of acpi_add_nondev_subnodes() should be
    bool
  ACPI: property: Tie data nodes to acpi handles
  ACPI: property: Use acpi_object_type consistently in property ref
    parsing
  ACPI: property: Move property ref argument parsing into a new function
  ACPI: property: Switch node property referencing from ifs to a switch
  ACPI: property: Unify integer value reading functions
  ACPI: property: Add support for parsing buffer property UUID
  ACPI: property: Read buffer properties as integers
