commit e65cb011349e653ded541dddd6469c2ca813edcf upstream.
The _CRS resources in many cases want to have ResourceSource field to be a type of ACPI String. This means that to compile properly we need to enclosure the name path into double quotes. This will in practice defer the interpretation to a run-time stage, However, this may be interpreted differently on different OSes and ACPI interpreter implementations. In particular ACPICA might not correctly recognize the leading '^' (caret) character and will not resolve the relative name path properly. On top of that, this piece may be used in SSDTs which are loaded after the DSDT and on itself may also not resolve relative name paths outside of their own scopes. With this all said, fix documentation to use fully-qualified name paths always to avoid any misinterpretations, which is proven to work.
