There is no ACPI code in this driver yet, seems "PRP0001" is used to reuse
this driver directly.

Hmm, I agree. but for now, every OEM can request ACPI or PNP ID with specific
prefixes, and they can manage it by themselves, that would flexible for OEM verdors
to develop firmware and driver.

For this driver in particular, if DesignWare provides the ACPI or PNP ID, that would
be great for all OEMs can reuse it.
