ACPI: EC: Relax sanity check of the ECDT ID string
It turns out that the ECDT table inside the ThinkBook 14 G7 IML
contains a valid EC description but an invalid ID string
("_SB.PC00.LPCB.EC0"). Ignoring this ECDT based on the invalid
ID string prevents the kernel from detecting the built-in touchpad,
so relax the sanity check of the ID string and only reject ECDTs
with empty ID strings.
