Which means in the production you do not need this patch. Allocate ID and go with it.

Which is expected behaviour. So there are two cases I can see that might make
this patch valid:

1) the preproduction development when the driver has both tables and formal
ACPI HID is not allocated yet (this what has to be the main "why" point
in the commit message);

2) a driver that got ACPI HID from somebody else and breaks the PRP0001 setups
for others (no evidences so far, but I admit there is a potential to have a
such).

That said, having the Fixes tag is unrequired.
