I think this is the only case which would suffer from the more obvious
behaviour, i.e.

bool acpi_dev_uid_match(struct acpi_device *adev, const char *uid2)
{
        const char *uid1 = acpi_device_uid(adev);

        return uid1 && uid2 && !strcmp(uid1, uid2);
}

That said, we can't be particularly sure about it's potential future users,
especially when the usage will not be limited to just ACPI core since we're
exporting it.
