Looks fine to me.

acpi_bus_register_driver must return -ENODEV when no device with
matching HID was found. E.g. battery also should currently get always
loaded even a system never has one.

driver_attach returned the amount of found devices in past, this was
changed recently (can't find the patch/mail) right now. This change
broke things and should get corrected by these patches.
