This series refines _UID references across kernel by:

- Extracting _UID matching functionality from acpi_dev_hid_uid_match()
  helper and introducing it as a separate acpi_dev_uid_match() helper.

- Converting manual _UID references to use standard ACPI helpers.

Raag Jadav (8):
  ACPI: utils: Introduce acpi_dev_uid_match() for matching _UID
  pinctrl: intel: use acpi_dev_uid_match() for matching _UID
  ACPI: sysfs: use acpi_device_uid() for fetching _UID
  ACPI: utils: use acpi_dev_uid_match() for matching _UID
  ACPI: x86: use acpi_dev_uid_match() for matching _UID
  perf: qcom: use acpi_device_uid() for fetching _UID
  hwmon: nct6775: use acpi_dev_hid_uid_match() for matching _HID and
    _UID
  perf: arm_cspmu: use acpi_dev_hid_uid_match() for matching _HID and
    _UID
