Yeah, that PCI device was short lived. It was available on Skylake/Kabylake but
then removed on future generations. When this happened we changed the driver to
use ACPI binding instead. But there were several generations of ChromeOS/coreboo
t platforms (listed in intel_pmc_core_platform_ids) that did not have the ACPI
device present in their firmware. This file exists specifically to support those
platforms and uses the forced binding because (given that there's actual
silicon) we know the PMC will be there.
