This series refines _UID references across kernel by: - Extracting _UID matching functionality from acpi_dev_hid_uid_match() helper and introducing it as a separate acpi_dev_uid_match() helper. - Converting manual _UID references to use the standard ACPI helpers. Changes since v2: - Drop review tags as suggested by Andy. Changes since v1: - Change acpi_dev_uid_match() to return false in case of NULL argument. - Drop accepted patches.
