In my opinion if _CID can be made, it's better than _ADR. As using _ADR like
you do is a bit of grey area in the ACPI specification. I.o.w. can you get
a confirmation, let's say, from Microsoft, that they will go your way for other
similar devices?
Btw, Microsoft has their own solution actually using _ADR for the so called
"wired" USB devices. Is it your case? If so, I'm not sure why _HID has been
used from day 1...
Also I suggest to wait for Hans' opinion on the topic.
