Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Add 10EC5280 to bmi160_i2c ACPI IDs to allow binding on some devices

"10EC5280" is used by several manufacturers like Lenovo, GPD, or AYA (and 
probably others) in their ACPI table as the ID for the bmi160 IMU. This 
means the bmi160_i2c driver won't bind to it, and the IMU is unavailable 
to the user. Manufacturers have been approached on several occasions to 
try getting a BIOS with a fixed ID, mostly without actual positive 
results, and since affected devices are already a few years old, this is 
not expected to change. This patch enables using the bmi160_i2c driver for 
the bmi160 IMU on these devices.
