struct acpi_device_id lacks kernel-doc, so extracting documentation from
its header describes ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS but not the matching table entry.

Document the four members, ID and class-code matching, and the table
terminator. This complements the pending documentation header-split
update without changing its include directives.

An LLM drafted this comment and changelog after being asked to address
the missing documentation noted in the header-split discussion. The
field descriptions were checked against the ACPI matching code. The
extracted documentation passes kernel-doc and a focused Sphinx HTML
build with warnings treated as errors; checkpatch reports no warnings.
