Why?
Auto detect is standard feature of i2c devices. This is using standard
auto detect feature provided by the framework.

This device needs has one combined id. Windows has a singe driver
processing both as a combo device.

Yes. You don't enable ACPI if you don't need it. It will bring in lots
of builtin code if someone did that.
