This is not "foreign territory" - ACPI in general doesn't want to
describe e.g. the individual components of a network card, unlike
DT.
It has also been suggested that the MDIO bus should be added to the
ACPI specification as a first class bus, similar to I2C, SPI,
etc. This would make it different to the DT. So we don't want to
encourage developers to use the networking DT concepts in ACPI, it
will just cause problems if the ACPI spec every actually covers the
use cases of networking.
BTW, why would not we want to push for the unified binding? They are the
same pieces of hardware...
