Then perhaps the following might be better to just blacklist acer-wmi completely for the Aspire One (I've given this a cursory test on my Aspire 5020, so it at least doesn't break anything).
(I've left your cleanup changes out for now, as they should probably go into a separate patch).

Thanks. Although, given how crazy the DMI naming for the Aspire One's is (compared to every other Acer laptop, which is at least reasonably sane in this respect), it's probably better to adopt a wait-and-see on those models.
