Yes as we have a few weeks to fix corner cases.

What I'm worrying is that opening door for _ADR that seems never used is kinda
an overkill here (resolving non-existing problem). Looking at the design of the
driver I'm not sure why ACPI HIDs are collected somewhere else than in the
respective drivers. And looking at the ID lists themselves I am not sure why
the firmware of the respective hardware platforms are not using _CID.
