parent object i.e. either the device object or another hierarchical data
extension node.
+The keys in the hierarchical data nodes shall consist of the name of the node,
+"@" character and the number of the node in hexadecimal notation (without pre-
+or postfixes). The same ACPI object shall include the _DSD property extension
+with a property "reg" that shall have the same numerical value as the number of
+the node.
+
+In case a hierarchical data extensions node has no numerical value, then the
+"reg" property shall be omitted from the ACPI object's _DSD properties and the
+"@" character and the number shall be omitted from the hierarchical data
+extension key.

Example
-------
In the ASL snippet below, the "reference" _DSD property [2] contains a
device object reference to DEV0 and under that device object, a
- hierarchical data extension key "node" referring to the NODE object and
- lastly, a hierarchical data extension key "anothernode" referring to the
- ANOD object which is also the final target of the reference.
+ hierarchical data extension key "node@1" referring to the NOD1 object
+ and lastly, a hierarchical data extension key "anothernode" referring to
+ the ANOD object which is also the final target node of the reference.
