SubjectRe: [PATCH v4 00/13] Add ACPI _DSD and unified device properties support

Right. Fundamentally, device properties (in DT or ACPI) exist to describe
the hardware in a generic and abstract fashion. It's a slippery slope from
saying "you don't need this property because you know you whether you are
on the *foo* architecture", to saying "you don't this property because you
know whether you're on a Assabet or not." I think it's wrong to go down
that path.
