Subject: [PATCH 0/2] platform/x86: msi-wmi-platform: Fix autoloading

As already noted by Antheas Kapenekakis back in May, the
msi-wmi-platform driver fails to automatically load on MSI Claw
devices. Back then i suspected an issue with the device firmware,
however i just found out that i made a silly mistake when specifying
the GUID string of the driver, preventing the WMI driver core from
matching it to its WMI device.
Additionally i noticed that said GUID was copied from the Windows
driver samples, meaning that it might be shared across different
vendors. Because of this we have to prevent this driver from loading
on non-MSI devices.

Compile-tested only.
