Yes, but it's not necessary to have it if we have defined a _HID.

In that case PRP0001 is a temporary stub until corresponding driver
incorporates an official _HID.

On the contrary, when there is no official _HID available, PRP0001 can be used
instead directly as a _HID and no _CID is needed.

I would really recommend to look at the examples in meta-acpi repository. There
are cases like described above.

This one is good enough, though see below.

So, these lines are superfluous as stated exaxtly in a following paragraph.
