Yep, I think we acknowledged that this device supports either PCI or
ACPI devices and we only currently have a use case for PCI devices, so
that's what's implemented and what the interface expects.  A separate
ACPI device interface could be added later or derived from updating the
interface to accept a generic device object.  Thanks,
