Indeed, it does, my mistake.

I completely forgot about those lines. In fact, the reason I started
hacking on msi-wmi (the previous driver), was because it didn't have a
proper auto-loading, and thus we packaged it out of kernel tree.

It was using dmi auto-loading with those standard wmi strings (pnp0c14).
