This is not part of the spec but is needed for power management. Is it okay I
mark it as optional? Thank you.

Thank you, I will fix this in v2.

These properties are not defined by the spec:

"The Input Report Address (header or body) and READ opcode are retrieved
from ACPI."

Same for the output report address and write opcode. I will drop these in v2.
