Though one thing I would like to add (not directly related to the patch
per se), i.e. it would be nice to keep such examples under meta-acpi [1]
umbrella as a database for such excerpts.

Thomas, can you do that?

I will :)

Thank you! I will take either GH PR, or you may send an email to maintainers,
i.e. Mika and me (PR is preferable because it would be seen publicly)


I will get around to this, later this week.

+ Name (_HID, "TITMP75") /* _HID will appear in sysfs */

Sorry for not noticing earlier.

Is this an official ID for the chip? We discourage people to invent ACPI IDs on
their own.

The device is a TI tmp75b temperature sensor [0]. The HID is completely
made up, I'm afraid. It doesn't exist in the registry.

Thanks for clarification. In that case I would rather recommend to use simple
PRP0001 as a _HID.


Alright, I will resend with this modification.
