Add a new function to acpi.h / wmi.c that returns _UID of the ACPI WMI
device. For example, it returns "ATK" for the following declaration in
DSDT:
Device (ATKD)
{
Name (_HID, "PNP0C14" /* Windows Management Instrumentation Device */)
// _HID: Hardware ID
Name (_UID, "ATK") // _UID: Unique ID
..
Generally, it is possible that multiple PNP0C14 ACPI devices are present in
the system as mentioned in the commit message of commit bff431e49f
("ACPI: WMI: Add ACPI-WMI mapping driver").
Therefore the _UID is returned for a specific ACPI device that declares the
given GUID, to which it is also mapped by other methods of wmi module.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
