platform/x86: wmi: Fix WMI device naming issue
When multiple WMI devices with the same GUID are present inside a given system, the WMI driver core might fail to register all of them. Consider the following scenario: WMI devices (<GUID>[-<ID>]): 05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 (on PNP0C14:00) 05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910-1 (on PNP0C14:01) If the WMI core driver somehow unbinds from PNP0C14:00, the following will happen upon rebinding: 1. The WMI driver core counts all registered WMI devices with a GUID of 05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 (count: 1). 2. The new WMI device will be named "05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910-1" because another device with the same GUID is already registered (on PNP0C14:01). 3. The new WMI device cannot be registered due to a name conflict. Use a IDA when building the WMI device name to avoid such name collisions by ensuring that a given WMI device ID is not reused. Userspace applications using udev for WMI device detection are not impacted by this change. Additionally userspace applications that do fully support the existing naming scheme are also not impacted. Only userspace applications using hardcoded sysfs paths will break. Introduce a kconfig option for restoring the old naming scheme to give developers time to fix any compatibility issues. Tested on a Asus Prime B650-Plus.
