agreed. there are some devices created unexpected by this patch, e.g. on
my test machine, I can see
 
/sys/bus/platform/devices/LNXSYSTM:00 (ACPI system bus/root node)
/sys/bus/platform/devices/PNP0000:00  (PIC)
/sys/bus/platform/devices/PNP0100:00  (system timer?)

I do not think so.
only devices that invoke acpi_add_ids() may have pnp.ids but no
_HID/_CID, right?
I did a check in the code, those devices include:
ACPI root node
ACPI video
ACPI bay
ACPI dock
IBM SMBus
ACPI Power resource
ACPI processor
ACPI thermal
ACPI fixed power/sleep button

IMO, only the ACPI root node, ACPI power resource, possibly ACPI
processor are the ones that we do not want to see in platform bus.

Thus IMO, we can have an exclude list for those devices.
