The _DSD approach is for devices that do not follow the ACPI specification
but do have a DT binding. Those will work without the .acpi_match_table
entry when the firmware uses the compatible value in the new properties.

In this case, the device does have an official ACPI ID "PNP0D10", so we should
use that for compatibility with other operating systems and with BIOS
versions that provide the standard IDs.
