p.s.

And there also is the Lenovo Yoga 300 11IBR convertible laptop which has
2 Bosch accelerometers, 1 in the display and 1 in the base/keyboard
described in a single ACPI "Device (ACC1) {}" ACPI fwnode (so not 1 fwnode
per sensor), and this single node to describe 2 separate I2C connected
ICs has a ACPI HID of "DUAL250E" (*), how is that for sticking to the HID
naming spec ?

I really have the feeling that the naming spec is not worth much more
then the paper it is written on, it is really really easy to find a ton
of examples out in the field which don't adhere to it.

Regards,

Hans



*) I recently got my hands on one of these and I still need to add support
for this to the kernel
