RE: Fwd: Hid over I2C and ACPI interaction

[Moore, Robert]

These are already defined in acpica - in the file acrestyp.h

    ACPI_RESOURCE_FIXED_DMA                 FixedDma;

    ACPI_RESOURCE_GPIO                      Gpio;
    ACPI_RESOURCE_I2C_SERIALBUS             I2cSerialBus;
    ACPI_RESOURCE_SPI_SERIALBUS             SpiSerialBus;
    ACPI_RESOURCE_UART_SERIALBUS            UartSerialBus;
    ACPI_RESOURCE_COMMON_SERIALBUS          CommonSerialBus;
