2020-01-09acpi: Be more ACPI compliant when generating _UIDPatrick Rudolph
* Add function to generate unique _UID using CRC32 * Add function to write the _UID based on a device's ACPI path ACPI devices that have the same _HID must use different _UID. Linux doesn't care about _UID if it's not used. Windows 10 verifies the ACPI code on boot and BSODs if two devices with the same _HID share the same _UID. Fixes BSOD seen on Windows 10.
