commit 98d610c3739ac354319a6590b915f4624d9151e6 upstream.

The accelerometer event relies on the ACERWMID_EVENT_GUID notify. So, this patch changes the codes to setup accelerometer input device when detected ACERWMID_EVENT_GUID. It avoids that the accel input device created on every Acer machines.

In addition, patch adds a clearly parsing logic of accelerometer hid to acer_wmi_get_handle_cb callback function. It is positive matching the "SENR" name with "BST0001" device to avoid non-supported hardware.
