ACPI: Add sysfs ABI documentation
Add initial ABI documentation for ACPI devices' sysfs interfaces. Contacts information fields are filled with current ACPI maintainer and the relevant authors are carbon copied. [rjw: Use my e-mail address that's likely to be valid longer.] Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

+Description:
+ This attribute indicates the full path of ACPI namespace
+ object associated with the device object. For example,
+ \_SB_.PCI0.
+ This file is not present for device objects representing
+ fixed ACPI hardware features (like power and sleep
+ buttons).

+Description:
+ This attribute indicates the PNP IDs of the device object.
+ That is acpi:HHHHHHHH:[CCCCCCC:]. Where each HHHHHHHH or
+ CCCCCCCC contains device object's PNPID (_HID or _CID).

+Date: April 2005
+Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@rjwysocki.net>
+Description:
+ This attribute indicates the hardware ID (_HID) of the
+ device object. For example, PNP0103.
+ This file is present for device objects having the _HID
+ control method.
