Thank you for your comment.

I will add a note of "potentially unsafe" in v2.
We are considering installing ACPI power meter on a machine under development, but I believe that the DMI (SYS_VENDOR) check included in the driver has too broad a scope.
I will update the code if the appropriate conditinon is determined, but I would like to correct the document first.
