There is no good reason why the unique_id needs to be stored as 4
bits. The code will work without changes with a u8 since all values
are already filtered while parsing the ACPI tables and Slave devID
registers.

Use u8 representation. This will allow us to encode a
"IGNORE_UNIQUE_ID" value to account for firmware/BIOS creativity.

Well this was due to the fact the slave id defined by MIPI has unique id
as 4 bits. In fact if you look closely there are other fields in
sdw_slave_id doing this

Why are we shoving firmware/BIOS issues into the core?

it's not because we extract 4 bits that we need to store the information 
in 4 bits.

The core uses a matching formula which is too strict and does not work 
on multiple platforms.

You can argue that the BIOS should be fixed, but the counter argument is 
that the practice of ignoring the unique ID is allowed by the MIPI standard.
