like to be accessible to slave devices via generic API call

SPI serial bus support

Slave devices behind SPI bus have SpiSerialBus resource attached to them.
This is extracted automatically by the SPI core and the slave devices are
enumerated once spi_register_master() is called by the bus driver.

GPIO support
~~~~~~~~~~~~
============
ACPI 5 introduced two new resources to describe GPIO connections: GpioIo
and GpioInt. These resources can be used to pass GPIO numbers used by
the device to the driver. ACPI 5.1 extended this with _DSD (Device
Specific Data) which made it possible to name the GPIOs among other things.
For example:

MFD devices
~~~~~~~~~~~
===========
The MFD devices register their children as platform devices. For the child
devices there needs to be an ACPI handle that they can use to reference
parts of the ACPI namespace that relate to them. In the Linux MFD subsystem
we provide two ways:
o The children share the parent ACPI handle.
o The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device.
- The children share the parent ACPI handle.
- The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device.
For the first case, the MFD drivers do not need to do anything. The
resulting child platform device will have its ACPI_COMPANION() set to point
to the parent device.
If the ACPI namespace has a device that we can match using an ACPI id or ACPI
adr, the cell should be set like:
