I'm not a big fan of removing 25% of the i2c-hid-acpi.c code and inject
it in i2c-hid-core.c.

There's something I can't really understand in the problem:
- we are talking about non arm architecture, which should not have OF in
them
- the current compatible hid-over-i2c loads the OF version?
- how can you make the device working without the couple of ACPI
functions that are in the i2c-hid-acpi.c driver for powering up and
down the device?

If the platform is indeed ACPI + x86(_64), then shouldn't we tackle the
problem in the i2c-hid-acpi driver, or add a secondary leaf driver for
this particular platform/device? Kind of what we have with
i2c-hid-of-elan.c

Cheers,
Benjamin
