+Description:
+ The /sys/devices/.../firmware/description attribute contains a string
+ that describes the device as provided by the _STR method in the ACPI
+ namespace. This attribute is read-only. If the device does not have
+ an _STR method associated with it in the ACPI namespace, this
+ attribute is not present.
