Merge tag 'devprop-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull generic device properties framework updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These add support for the ports and endpoints concepts, based on the
  existing DT support for them, to the generic device properties
  framework and update the ACPI _DSD properties code to recognize ports
  and endpoints accordingly.

  Specifics:

   - Extend the ACPI _DSD properties code and the generic device
     properties framework to support the concept of remote endponts
     (Mika Westerberg, Sakari Ailus).

   - Document the support for ports and endpoints in _DSD properties and
     extend the generic device properties framework to make it more
     suitable for the handling of ports and endpoints (Sakari Ailus)"

+_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 property extension related to
+each port node must contain the key "port" and an integer value which
+is the number of the port. The object it refers to should be called "PRTX",
+where "X" is the number of the port.
+
+Further on, endpoints are located under the individual port nodes. The
+first hierarchical data extension package list entry of the endpoint
+nodes must begin with "endpoint" and must be followed by 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.
+
+Each port node contains a property extension key "port", the value of
+which is the number of the port node. The each endpoint is similarly numbered
+with a property extension key "endpoint". Port numbers must be unique within a
+device and endpoint numbers must be unique within a port.
+
+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, number of the port in the device and finally the
+number of the endpoint in that port. Individual references thus appear as:
+
+    Package() { device, port_number, endpoint_number }
+
+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)

+Here, the port 0 of the "CAM0" device is connected to the port 4 of
+the "ISP" device and vice versa.
