Subject: [PATCH 05/10] ACPI: make sure every acpi_device has an ID
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:38:55 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090824163855.28131.76369.stgit@bob.kio> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090824163659.28131.96400.stgit@bob.kio>

This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID.  If we build an
acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes
synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO".  If we don't even have
that, give it a default "device" ID.

Note that this means things like:
    /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00
(a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where
they didn't before.  These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't
tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver),
but I don't think they're harmful.
