I'd assume that most drivers that have a acpi_device_id table do have

For new drivers we should push back on unregistered IDs, but if there is

Right. But at the same time we have to push the idea of proper IDs to
the vendor companies, so they won't abuse ACPI specification anymore.
The last couple of years have made me very cynical on this. Vendors will
ship whatever works, not what is correct.
