IIRC it is an error to put non-alphanumeric onto an _HID node, but
ACPI-CA interpreter is able to handle this situation.  IOW iasl will
give up if such error is done and is to compiling such ASL, but the
in-kernel AML interpreter should interprete such things correctly.

If the ASL contains only this error, it won't help the OP to override
the DSDT.
