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.
