It's fine.

Good, let's do it right then!

MIPI doesn't know how to assign the ACPI ID correctly. But again, what I put in
the above is the correct way of approaching.

> What would you advise?

Since my intuition and experience tells me that the two devices even based on
the same IP are not the same (see word 'quirk' or '.driver_data' or alike in
the kernel sources) the generic ID may not be used for the specific vendor
unless it's _the only_ vendor for the certain IP.

So, please do as I suggested above. And file a error report (and correction
proposal) to the MIPI, so in "5.1 I3C Host Controller ACPI Hardware ID (_HID)"
they should use _CID instead of _HID and add some text like
"Each vendor should dedicate it's own _HID for the platform in question. The
same _HID as _CID may be used if and only if vendor guarantees that there 100%
compatibility with MIPI as described in this and other related documents."

I.o.w. do you 100% guarantee that MIPI HCI I3C DisCo covers all necessary
properties that you need for _your_ hardware? If not, use my approach, if yes,
use the same _HID *and* _CID.

Microsoft should know this as well and much better than MIPI.
