Any acpi_device_id naming conventions to follow?

Hi all,
Is there a naming convention to follow on ACPI device names (acpi_device_id) for device drivers?

For TI led lp3952, I would otherwise name it as "lp3952". But in order to follow ACPI/PNP device ID convention, it has to be 7 or 8 char long. So is "TLP3952" a valid name?

Should the name be registered before it can be used? If it has to be registered, is there a subset of characters which can be used without registration?

From a little bit of googling, I found there is an ACPI ID 'TXNW' for TI,
http://www.uefi.org/ACPI_ID_List?search=texas

So should the device name be "TXNW3952"?

Many Thanks,
Tony
