Subject: [PATCH] acpi: fix acpi_device_{install,remove}_notify_handler() for _HID-less devices
The buffer pointer returned by acpi_device_hid() should be considered
as valid IFF device->flags.hardware_id flag is set (== device supports
_HID method).
This is not a problem currently (cause we use static buffers) but after
commit ed444824932d2a563858d82ec1ea29b0aa775e91 ("ACPICA: Major update
for acpi_get_object_info external interface") ->pnp.hardware_id will
be NULL for ACPI video devices which don't support _HID method (i.e.
the one in Asus Eee 901 w/ BIOSes 1202 and the latest 2103) resulting
in an OOPS and non-working Xorg (as observed with Ubuntu 9.10 UNR).

This fixes a month long -next regression.
Len, could this (or an equivalent fix) go into 2.6.31 so we will
never see the regression upstream and -next will fix itself..?
