The kernel provides the macro MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() which can help
driver authors to generate the appropriate MODULE_ALIAS() output. The
WMI device type is currently not supported by MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

While using MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() does increase the complexity as well
as spreading out the implementation across the kernel, it does come with
some benefits too;
* It makes different drivers look more similar; if you can specify the
  array of device_ids any device type specific input to MODULE_ALIAS()
  will automatically be generated for you.
* It helps each driver avoid keeping multiple versions of the same
  information in sync. That is, both the array of device_ids and the
  potential multitude of MODULE_ALIAS()'s.
* Other things eg. [2]

This patchset adds WMI support to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

[PATCH 1/3]: prepare struct wmi_device_id
[PATCH 2/3]: add support
[PATCH 3+/3]: update existing drivers to use MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()

Changes in v4:
* formatting(declare/assignment, line-breaks) according to comments
* split "PATCH 3/3" into one patch per driver according to comments
* depend upon patch [3] (macro ALIAS_SIZE)

Changes in v3:
* use UUID_STRING_LEN instead of self-defined
* change loop condition in wmi_dev_match() according to comments
* change the usage of snprintf return code in do_wmi_entry()

Changes in v2:
* add one Suggested-by and one Reviewed-by tag
* depend upon patch [1]
* reword commit message for [PATCH 2/3] and [PATCH 3/3] to document the
  reasoning behind the changes
