Currently on ACPI-enabled systems the USB interface device has no link to the actual firmware node and thus drivers may not parse additional information given in the table. The new feature, proposed here, allows to pass properties or other information to the drivers. The ACPI companion of the device has to be set for USB interface devices to achieve above. Use ACPI_COMPANION_SET macro to set this. Note, OF already does link of_node and this is the same for ACPI case.

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.
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.
