[PATCH v2] ACPI: utils: Ignore leading root scope prefix in string _UID match

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>
Date: 2026-09-08 04:32:13
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: acpi, acpi component architecture (acpica), the rest · Maintainers: "Rafael J. Wysocki", Maciej Wieczor-Retman, Pawel Chmielewski, Linus Torvalds

Firmware may express an ACPI namespace path used as a _UID with or
without the leading root scope character ('\'). For example, an AMD
IVRS IVHD ACPI HID device entry may carry a character UID of
"\_SB.MHSP" while the corresponding device's _UID evaluates to
"_SB.MHSP" (or vice versa).  This semantic difference is due to how
Windows PnP enumerates and uses devices.

acpi_str_uid_match() compared the two strings verbatim, so such
entries failed to match on the UID even though they refer to the same
object. In the AMD IOMMU case (get_acpihid_device_id()) this caused
the exact HID+UID match to be missed and the code to fall through to
the HID-only path, spuriously raising a FW_BUG.

Skip a single leading '\' on either string before comparing so that
paths that differ only by the root scope prefix are treated as a
match. The integer _UID path is unaffected.

v2:
 * Add kdoc
 * Make sure the string is at least two characters long to normalize
