The fjes driver is used only by FUJITSU servers and almost of all

Matching on PNP0C02 is fundamentally wrong. It's a way to load a device
driver on all ACPI systems. You should not do that. I don't think it is
fair to make everyone suffer because of your inability to properly
narrow down the driver matching rules.
There are so many similar matching rules. But these modules are not
listed in blacklist because these modules has proper check like my patch
and no one suffers.
So I don't think the matching rule is fundamentally wrong.

Could we please just delete the whole MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() from this
driver until a proper solution is found? That way we don't need to
blacklist the driver everywhere.
