    4845934 ACPI / scan: use platform bus type by default for _HID enumeration

ACPI uses the platform bus by default, changing the opt-in to an opt-out
policy, eliminating the acpi_platform_device_ids table and replacing it
with forbidden_id_list[].

Remove the qualifying paragraph from the acpi/enumeration documentation
as it no longer applies.

Currently the kernel is not able to automatically determine from which ACPI
device it should make the corresponding platform device so we need to add
the ACPI device explicitly to acpi_platform_device_ids list defined in
drivers/acpi/acpi_platform.c. This limitation is only for the platform
devices, SPI and I2C devices are created automatically as described below.
