  "10EC5280" is used by several manufacturers like Lenovo, GPD, or AYA (and
probably others) in their ACPI table as the ID for the bmi160 IMU. This
means the bmi160_i2c driver won't bind to it, and the IMU is unavailable
to the user. Manufacturers have been approached on several occasions to
try getting a BIOS with a fixed ID, mostly without actual positive
results, and since affected devices are already a few years old, this is
not expected to change. This patch enables using the bmi160_i2c driver for
the bmi160 IMU on these devices.

Here is the relevant extract from the DSDT of a GPD Win Max 2 (AMD 6800U
model) with the latest firmware 1.05 installed. GPD sees this as WONTFIX
with the argument of the device working with the Windows drivers.

	Device (BMA2)
	{
	    Name (_ADR, Zero)  // _ADR: Address
	    Name (_HID, "10EC5280")  // _HID: Hardware ID
	    Name (_CID, "10EC5280")  // _CID: Compatible ID
	    Name (_DDN, "Accelerometer")  // _DDN: DOS Device Name
	    Name (_UID, One)  // _UID: Unique ID
	    Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)  // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
	    {
		Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
		{
		    I2cSerialBusV2 (0x0069, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80,
		        AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.I2CC",
		        0x00, ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive,
		        )
		})
		Return (RBUF) /* \_SB_.I2CC.BMA2._CRS.RBUF */
	    }
	    
	    ...
	    
	}

v3: - Add ID to the actual i2c driver instead of the spi driver
(Mistake while manually transferring change to clean master, lesson learned)
    - Move comment to outside of the function as per coding style
    - Adapt comment style to standard multi-line comment style
    - Reduce unnecessary noise from DSDT in the explanation body
