This is wrong. First of all, on the left side you put the device
instance name (which must not be in the ID tables, since the device
instance name is "ID + instance number"). Second, the motivation of
this is not clear, if the device is enumerated by ACPI, why do you
care about board code?

Just don't add anything to this table.

The rest is good, but consider doing the same for _spi part of the driver.
