Understood, the point I wanted to make is that adding a list of methods in acpi_object_usage.txt ("Use as needed") is not necessarily additional information, you can add a pointer at ACPI specs (for that specific purpose - as I said there are parts of the patch that add additional information Linux related) for that purpose instead of having to list all of them in acpi_object_usage.txt again.
I see. That makes sense. How about I collapse those down with something on the order of "unless otherwise noted, use as needed" and just remove the ones that have no specific info?
Agreed, that would also help you avoid keeping track of new specs updates that do not necessarily require updates to these docs.
