Agreed. I was originally using acpi_bus_register_driver() and refering
to devices by HID but that turned out to not work very well for the
dock (ACPI drops it if it's not present at boot) and embedded
controller (the ec driver has already grabbed it). So I switched to
looking things up by the path. I see your point, though, I'll see what
I can do.

Guesswork from the disassembled DSDT and trial and error...
