Hi Alex,

Thanks for this.

I tested this out with the vmgenid driver, and I found a bug in this v1:

This only worked once I made that `ACPI_ID_LEN - 1`, because that length
includes the null terminator. The below patch works fine. If you adjust
that and send a quick v2 follow-up, I'm happy to ack it.

Regards,
Jason
