+ * The "BOSC0200" identifier used here is not unique to devices using
+ * bmc150. The same "BOSC0200" identifier is found in the ACPI tables
+ * of the ASUS ROG ALLY and Ayaneo AIR Plus which both use a Bosch
+ * BMI323 chip. This creates a conflict with duplicate ACPI identifiers
+ * which multiple drivers want to use. Fortunately, when the bmc150
+ * driver starts to load on the ASUS ROG ALLY, the chip ID check
+ * portion fails (correctly) because the chip IDs received (via i2c)
+ * are unique between bmc150 and bmi323 and a dmesg output similar to
+ * this: "bmc150_accel_i2c i2c-BOSC0200:00: Invalid chip 0" can be
+ * seen. This allows the bmi323 driver to take over for ASUS ROG ALLY,
+ * and other devices using the bmi323 chip.
