ACPI: Add sysfs ABI documentation
Add initial ABI documentation for ACPI devices' sysfs interfaces. Contacts information fields are filled with current ACPI maintainer and the relevant authors are carbon copied. [rjw: Use my e-mail address that's likely to be valid longer.] Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

4Description:
5 This attribute indicates the full path of ACPI namespace
6 object associated with the device object. For example,
7 \_SB_.PCI0.
8 This file is not present for device objects representing
9 fixed ACPI hardware features (like power and sleep
10 buttons).

15Description:
16 This attribute indicates the PNP IDs of the device object.
17 That is acpi:HHHHHHHH:[CCCCCCC:]. Where each HHHHHHHH or
18 CCCCCCCC contains device object's PNPID (_HID or _CID).

23Description:
24 This attribute indicates the hardware ID (_HID) of the
25 device object. For example, PNP0103.
26 This file is present for device objects having the _HID
27 control method.
