I would prefer avoid DMI if possible.

I believe we need to do what Hans did for Elan Touch*screen* driver and
avoid binding to the device if it has i2c-hid-specific _DMS in ACPI.
I.e. we need to replicate elants_acpi_is_hid_device().

Even better would be to factor it out, maybe not into a shared module
but simply shared header with static inline function that we could share
between elan drivers and maybe others as well.

Thanks.
