Devices with the same HID should be still different by another parameter in ACPI. The above mentioned call just uses the rough estimation for relaxed conditions. If you expect more than one device with the same HID how do you expect to distinguish them? The correct way is to use _UID. It may be absent, or set to a value. And this value should be unique (as per U letter in UID abbreviation). That said, the above is good enough till we find the firmware with the above true (several devices with the same HID). Until then the code is fine. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
