Subject[PATCH 2/2] PNP: Unbind drivers if the new driver matches _HID rather than _CID
Date
ACPIPNP devices may have two levels of ID - the HID (a single string
defining the hardware) and the CIDs (zero or more strings defining
interfaces compatible with the hardware). If a driver matching a CID is
bound first, it will be impossible to bind a driver that matches the HID
despite it being more specific. This has been seen in the wild with
platforms that define an IPMI device as:

Device (NIPM)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("IPI0001"))
Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0C01"))

resulting in the device being claimed by the generic motherboard resource
driver binding to the PNP0C01 CID. The IPMI driver attempts to bind later
and fails, preventing the IPMI device from being made available to the ACPI
layer.

This can be avoided at driver probe time by detaching the existing driver
if the new driver matches the device HID. Since each device can only have
a single HID this will only permit more specific drivers to dislodge more
generic drivers.
