Looks fine to me.

One question - is it expected that matching ACPI data nodes is always
case insensitive?
That would not be a correct expectation in theory, although I don't think it
really matters in practice.
From my reading of the Hierarchical Data Extension and ACPI Spec, I thought
that was the case (section 19.3.1 ASL Names - ASL names are not case-sensitive
and will be converted to upper case). Am I misreading the documents/missing
something else?
Those are names in the ASL code itself.

What we are talking here are actually just string values (name of the
data node).
Understood. For DT they are case insensitive (except for Sparc platforms) so
having ACPI match seems to make sense. I can add a comment indicating this,
just for clarity.
