Both drivers can already co-exist since the old hp-wmi driver uses the old
wmi kernel functions and is not a "wmi_driver" so there is no need for
a platform_device for this driver to bind to since the wmi_device is
still free for it to bind to.
This does indeed need a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() statement for
the bios_attr_pass_interface_id_table[] id-table. Note only for that
table, because the HP_WMI_BIOS_GUID is present on models which do
not support this and we don't want the module to auto-load there.
