usb.ids are not updated, because linux-usb.org is down.
It seems that the updates are corrections and new entries, to major
removal of existing entries.
The changes in pci.ids, usb.ids, and the .hwdb files are almost always
additions. 20-OUI.hwdb drops a few names and replaces them by
"IEEE Registration Authority". I'm not sure what to do about this.
Many other removals do not seem to be removals of real entries, but
rather placeholder or generic names.
Let's hook up the ACPI database we maintain from the upstream UEFI sources.
This adds a tool to convert the database provided upstream to our native
format, similar to how this is handled for the PCI and USB databases.
Note that the upstream web site claims to offer an XLS download, but the actual
data made available is an HTML file in reality, just one with the ".xls"
suffix...
The data provided from the UEFI folks is not very high quality nor complete,
hence apply a patch after the conversion step that fixes up a few things and
adds in more entries from various sources. For example, the EDID ids maintained
by GNOME and other sources have been added too, as they all appear to use the
same ID namespace.
This also adds explicit support for 4 character ACPI ids, in addition to the
normal 3 character PNP ids.
