Cool! But please, keep them alphabetically ordered by ID.

Can we push OrangePI NED to go and fix ACPI IDs eventually?

Yes, please do not add anything that has no evidence of existence in the wild
or approved vendor allocated ID.

Add short parts of these to the commit message, or better split these to two
patches each of them adding a new ID to the table.

See below what I do want to see there (no need to have everything),
i.e. I removed unneeded lines:

My gosh, can this be fixed (seems rhetorical)? The _ADR must NOT be present
together with _HID. It's against the ACPI specifications.

Same comments for this device.

Are you official representative of Bosch or do you have a proof by the vendor
that they allocated this ID? Otherwise we may NOT allocate IDs on their behalf
and has not to be added.
