If you can guarantee that ACPI PM or anything like _DS or _SRS will
never be invoked for the device objects that "inherit" the ACPI
companion from their parent, it at least is not outright dangerous.

That said I'm thinking that may need some more sophisticated approach
here, so we really can guarantee certain things, but that's for the
future.

Thanks,
