I don't see any reason to change ENFORCE_RESOURCES_STRICT from 2 to 3.
Just add ENFORCE_RESOURCES_AUTO as 3 and that's it, makes your patch
smaller.

Should be pr_debug().

You must include <linux/dmi.h> for this.

I think it's better to tag this structure as __initdata than const, so
that it is cleaned up after initialization. Then I guess you can also
tag acpi_res_quick_check_hid_cb() and acpi_res_quick_check_hid() as
__init so the runtime memory overhead is zero.

Otherwise it looks good to me, pretty clean and flexible. Good work!
