I don't quite understand the statement.  Why it needs DMI data?

Rename it to `cros_ec_lpc_acpi_device_index` for clarity?

Or just use `cros_ec_lpc_acpi_device_ids`.

Asked the same question above, why PNP0C09 needs DMI data?  Also the way is
a bit confusing as "PNP0C09" must be at index 0 in the acpi_device_id.
