From b1fbfb2ae8f2f0e04219218da6f52f7313466899 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjorn Helgaas Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:35:14 -0600 Subject: ACPI: make sure every acpi_device has an ID 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.
