Probably we have to communicate this to EHL program owners internally...
I dunno what this means in case of Sound Wire.

It depends on the BIOS decision at boot time. No idea if it's only one
possibility (what I have heard is that device is PCI enumerated, that's
why they chose PCI ID in the CSRT, to avoid allocating new IDs for truly
ACPI-enumerated device).

But seems another point to discuss internally.

No idea. Let's discuss internally.

P.S. The issue here is that some BIOS versions are floating around and
we never know who is using what... :-(
