Documentation: ACPI: Direct references are allowed to devices only

In ACPI it is possible to make references to device objects only,
not to other objects inside a device.

In practice this means that hierarchical data extension targets
must be in parentheses to make them strings, or an ACPICA warning
will be produced.
