Yes, as I understand Jonathan's comments, the acpi-generic-initiator
object should currently define a single device:node relationship to
match the ACPI definition.  Separately a clarification of the spec
could be pursued that could allow us to reinstate a node list option
for the acpi-generic-initiator object.  In the interim, a user can
define multiple 1:1 objects to create the 1:N relationship that's
ultimately required here.  Thanks,
