Subject[PATCH v1 2/7] ACPI: enumeration: Update UART serial bus resource documentation
Date

serdev_device.

Fixes: 53c7626356c7 ("serdev: Add ACPI support")

As both ACPI and Device Tree represent a tree of devices (and their
resources) this implementation follows the Device Tree way as much as
possible.

-The ACPI implementation enumerates devices behind busses (platform, SPI and

This means that when ACPI_HANDLE(dev) returns non-NULL the device was
enumerated from ACPI namespace. This handle can be used to extract other
