We only got docs about "TOS6208" and "TOS1900" from Toshiba. And the
Toshiba laptops we have support either of them. I'll ask IHV team for
help to get info about "TOS1900". It should be straightforward to add it
or more in if we have the related docs. Thanks!

How do you think about our current ACPI modules naming?
acpi_drv: for generic ACPI method
acpi_toshiba, acpi_XXXX: for vendor specific ACPI method
