How are individuals/companies who aren't UEFI members supposed to do this? Aren't there IP issues involved in taking submissions from non-members?
Obviously, I'm not a lawyer, but I would note that the _DSD bindings aren't going into the core ACPI document. I think the specifics for non members of the UEFI to potentially contribute bindings need to be addressed. That said, at this point, the population of the UEFI forum is very well aligned with initial players (that this is the case is not entirely an accident, I went around to a few folks a year or so ago and made sure that they had become members in anticipation of this issue).
Are you sure you've covered all the vendors of off-SoC components who might be involved? That's certainly already an issue with people doing x86 machines (who aren't being bound by this spec but as a subsystem maintainer how am I supposed to tell if the target is an ARM or x86 system?). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
