Following table already exists in dell-smo8800.c file:

static const struct acpi_device_id smo8800_ids[] = {
	{ "SMO8800", 0 },
	{ "SMO8801", 0 },
	{ "SMO8810", 0 },
	{ "SMO8811", 0 },
	{ "SMO8820", 0 },
	{ "SMO8821", 0 },
	{ "SMO8830", 0 },
	{ "SMO8831", 0 },
	{ "", 0 },
};

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, smo8800_ids);

Can we reuse it? Maybe moving array smo8800_ids[] into some header file
(which one?) and statically inline it? Or having it only in
dell-smo8800.c file and exporting its symbol? Or is there better idea?

For sure I do not want to copy paste this table into another module and
maintaining two copies of this list.
