soc/intel/common/acpi: work around Windows crash on S0ix-enabled boards
Windows does not comply with the Low Power Idle S0 specification and crashes with an `INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR` bluescreen when function 1, does not return at least one device constraint, even when function 1 is announced as being not available by the enum function. Returning an empty package does not work. At least the following Windows versions were verified to be affected: - Windows 8.1 x64, release 6.3.9600 - Windoes 10 x64, version 1809, build 17763.379 - Windows 10 x64, version 1903, build 18362.53 - Windows 10 x64, version 2004, build 19041.508 - Windows 10 x64, version 20H2 / 2009, build 19042.450 To make Windows work on S0ix-enabled boards, return a dummy constraint package with a disabled dummy device. Since the device constraints are only used for debugging low power states in Linux and probably also in Windows, there shouldn't be any negative effect to S0ix. Real device constraint entries could be added at a later point, if needed. Note: to fully prevent the BSOD mentioned above the LPIT table is required on Windows, too. The patch for this is WIP, see CB:32350. If you want to test this, you need to applie the whole ACPI patch series including the hacky LPIT test implementation from CB:47242: https://review.coreboot.org/q/topic:%22low_power_idle_fix%22 Test: no bluescreen anymore on Clevo L140CU on all Windows versions listed above and S0ix gets detected in `powercfg -a`.
