Understood. So if there isn't already a valid and unique identifier for
the BMI323 chip, then BOSCH must come up with one in that BOSCXXXX format.
Then ASUS should update the ACPI table with a BIOS update to use the
proper code for the BOSCH BMI323 chip. This is certainly the better long-term
solution. As it stands now, this proposed patch will get around the current
problem. If and when BOSCH and ASUS update the identifier, then the first
portion of this patch (unhooking from bmc150) could be removed. Then the
ACPI match table added in the BMI323 driver would just need to be updated
to reflect the proper code for the BOSCH BMI323 chip.

Yes, sorry. Thank you for the guidance.
