It is possible to have _DSD entries where the data is compatible with
device properties format but are using different GUID for various reasons.
In addition to that there can be many such _DSD entries for a single device
such as for PCIe root port used to host a Thunderbolt hierarchy:
Scope (\_SB.PCI0.RP21)
{
Name (_DSD, Package () {
ToUUID ("6211e2c0-58a3-4af3-90e1-927a4e0c55a4"),
Package () {
Package () {"HotPlugSupportInD3", 1}
},
ToUUID ("efcc06cc-73ac-4bc3-bff0-76143807c389"),
Package () {
Package () {"ExternalFacingPort", 1},
Package () {"UID", 0 }
}
})
}
More information about these new _DSD entries can be found in:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pci/dsd-for-pcie-root-ports
To make these available for drivers via unified device property APIs,
modify ACPI property core so that it supports multiple _DSD entries
organized in a linked list. We also store GUID of each _DSD entry in struct
acpi_device_properties in case there is need to differentiate between
entries. The supported GUIDs are then listed in prp_guids array.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
