the key part is "two or more". When it's "one" then the uniqueID has no 
defined meaning.

I will be the first to complain about BIOS issues, and the need for 
workarounds in the kernel, but here the BIOS vendors rely on permissions 
defined in the standard, see lines 3320..31 in the MIPI SoundWire 1.2 
document. You will see that there is no requirement to use the full set 
of devID registers to identify a Slave device. The only requirement is 
to read devID0 first to force a state machine transition and enable 
arbitration.

In other words, it's a nice case of BIOS folks telling the kernel folks 
we are too strict in our interpretation of the standard, and what they 
do is a feature and not a bug.

The uniqueID is used when multiple devices of the same type are detected 
in ACPI tables. No change, see [1] below

[1] this is where the unique_id is ignored if it was tagged as 
irrelevant while scanning ACPI tables. If it is not ignored, then the 
same comparison applied
