Good point, I totally missed that.

There is of course the possibility to set those values based on the
acpi_device_id, but that is exactly the part that _DSD is trying to
avoid.

Does this really make a difference?

(example missing?)

I think we should have the equivalent of of_have_populated_dt(), to
check whether acpi is being used to boot, and have that new function
be hardcoded to zero in case of !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ACPI).
