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 the standard ACPI helpers.

Changes since v1:
- Change acpi_dev_uid_match() to return false in case of NULL argument.
- Drop accepted patches.
