Don't really get the sentence. For ACPI systems, a registered reset
function is selected if its associated ACPI HID matches the device ACPI HID?
Old commit message. I did an internal review before posting the patch. The first
version of the patch was a hack. I simplified the code but forgot to update the 
commit message.

Now, the rule is simple.

- ACPI HID needs match for ACPI systems
- DT compat needs to match for OF systems

as expected. I'll rephrase for the next version.

For OF based systems, DT compatible string needs to match and compat in the

same here

I added Baptiste who is vfio platform driver sub-system maintainer.
Thanks, we should ask Baptiste to get his email into the Maintainer file list.
On my side I tested with of amd xgbe and I don't observe any regression.

Best Regards
Can I add your tested by?
