Just a side note. Looks like abusing (?) ACPI is not limited to GPIO
resources and stuff. I think we will see more stuff due to Windows
driver developers don't give a sh*t to follow standards, consistency,
and in some cases even common sense. For above case they might have used
_UID or _CID (compatible ID) + _HID (exact ID of the type of device) or
something else which is standard / more common.
