Yes, it's simply bogus and not following the ACPI specification [0]. We might
add the bogus IDs, but that has to be justified in the commit message:

- Is the device available on a wild market?
- If no, drop the patch, fix the firmware (I'm here to help with ACPI process bits)
- If yes, provide the Device name, model, year, et cetera to unique distinguish it,
provide an excerpt from DSDT to show how this device is described there
- Also browse the MS catalog [1], duckduckgo, google for the ID to see if it
appears in some respectful sources
- Additionally, try to submit a bug report to the vendor of the device to point
out that this is bogus ID and must be fixed (in a new BIOSes)

The more information you find and provide the better. (But distinguish the
important from secondary info,)
