Yes Controller has ACPI scope. Under controller based on
"mipi-sdw-manager-list" property manager instances will be created.
Manager and Link terms are interchangeable.

Below is the sample DSDT file if we go with two ACPI companion
devices.

Scope (\_SB.ACP)
    {

        Device (SWC0)
        {
            Name (_ADR, 0x05)  // _ADR: Address
        Name(_DSD, Package() {
                                        ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
                                        Package () {

                                Package () {
                                Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-sw-interface-revision", 0x00010000},
                                // ... place holder for SWM0 additional properties
                                }
                                }) // End SWM0.SWM

    Device (SLV0) { // SoundWire Slave 0
                        Name(_ADR, 0x000032025D131601)
                  } // END SLV0   

        } // END SWC0

     Device (SWC1)
        {
            Name (_ADR, 0x09)  // _ADR: Address
        Name(_DSD, Package() {
                                        ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
                                        Package () {
                                        Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-sw-interface-revision", 0x00010000},
                                        Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-manager-list", 1},
                                        },
                                        ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
                                        Package () {
                                        Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-link-0-subproperties", "SWM0"},
                                      
                                        }
                                        }) // End _DSD
        Name(SWM0, Package() {
                                ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
                                Package () {
                                Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-sw-interface-revision", 0x00010000},
                                // ... place holder for SWM0 additional properties
                                }
                                }) // End SWM0.SWM

    Device (SLV0) { // SoundWire Slave 0
                        Name(_ADR, 0x000032025D131601)
                  } // END SLV0

        } // END SWC1
    }
}



In above case, two manager instances will be created.
When manager under SWC1 scope tries to add peripheral
device, In sdw_slave_add() API its failing because peripheral
device descriptor uses link id followed by 48bit encoded address.
In above scenarios, both the manager's link id is zero only.
