we've some extra magic in the fuel-gauge's probe method to see

Just a side note. Looks like abusing (?) ACPI is not limited to GPIO
resources and stuff. I think we will see more stuff due to Windows
driver developers don't give a sh*t to follow standards, consistency,
and in some cases even common sense. For above case they might have used
_UID or _CID (compatible ID) + _HID (exact ID of the type of device) or
something else which is standard / more common.
Yeah this definitely is ACPI abuse, but nothing we can do about this
I'm afraid.

Hans
