No, unfortunately not. There is a format which ACPI IDs are
supposed to follow, but some "out in the wild" API ids don't
follow this; and many fake (made up) ACPI ids do follow it...

We (mostly Andy and me) are not even 100% sure this one is
a fake ACPI ID, but we do pretty strongly believe that it is.
