Sakari Ailus abecf9d748 Documentation: ACPI: Fix data node reference documentation
commit a11174952205d082f1658fab4314f0caf706e0a8 upstream.

The data node reference documentation was missing a package that must
contain the property values, instead property name and multiple values
being present in a single package. This is not aligned with the _DSD
spec.

Fix it by adding the package for the values.

Also add the missing "reg" properties to two numbered nodes.

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.
