Thanks! This is basically the most important point of review.

ACPI_PTR() needs to be used along with the ugly ifdeffery (#ifdef
CONFIG_ACPI). Rather not doing both simplifies the code and avoids
unneeded macros or attributes (as you suggested below).

This is illogical to add an ID table that we will know may be unused,
don't you think? Better to always provide it. Yes, the downside is few
dozens of bytes in the module even if it doesn't support, but OTOH
this information still may be useful for users to know what devices
the certain module might support.
