Yeah, it's an ugly world we live in. Would you be able to try the
attached patch just for testing? It should sort devices with the
same _HID by their _UID. It doesn't have any effect on my systems,
because my devices are already ordered by _UID by default. But I
think it should switch your COM1/COM2 ports back to the order you
expect.
Yinghai, you mentioned the same issue on boxes with multiple root
bridges. Any chance you could try this out there as well?
it doesn't solve pci_root_bus reverse problem.
is that too late for PNP0A03?
I wonder if we need to modify acpi_device_register to sort them.
