Rafael J. Wysocki 5f3c10ac34 ACPI: docs: enumeration: Clarify ACPI bus concepts
In some cases, ACPI drivers are implemented as a way to manage devices
enumerated with the help of the platform firmware through ACPI.

This might be confusing, since the preferred way to implement a driver
for a device that cannot be enumerated natively, is a platform
driver, as stated in the documentation.

Clarify relationships between ACPI device objects, platform devices and
ACPI Namespace entries.
