the patched driver removes the support for the device the original driver was
written for and adds the support for the eeepc, for example:

+#define EEEPC_HOTK_HID           "ASUS010"
[...]
+static const struct acpi_device_id eee_device_ids[] = {
+       {EEEPC_HOTK_HID, 0},
+       {"", 0}
+};
[...]
-static const struct acpi_device_id asus_device_ids[] = {
-       {"ATK0100", 0},
-       {"", 0},
-};
[...]
 static struct acpi_driver asus_hotk_driver = {
        .name = "asus_acpi",
        .class = ACPI_HOTK_CLASS,
-       .ids = asus_device_ids,
+       .ids = eee_device_ids,
        .ops = {
