This is no abuse but exactly what PRP0001 is meant for. The basic idea of
PRP0001 is to reuse DT "compatible" strings in ACPI namespace, see
Documentation/acpi/enumeration.txt. Reusing also means getting
access to the of_device_id.

Allocating an ACPI id for an already existing DT driver is redundant, isn't it?
