ACPI names are *always* 4 characters

Hello CorpNewt,

Thank you very much for your excellent guide.

At one point, I think it needs a change:
'XHC' is represented as 'XHC_'
see: RehabMan
Quote: ACPI names are always 4 characters. 'XHC' is represented as 'XHC_'. Read the ACPI spec.

Correct - often when represented as ASCII, the underscore is dropped. If you convert WEhDXw== to ASCII, it becomes XHC_. The guide is still accurate.

Edit for clarification: The only time it is not labeled explicitly is in the comment, which Rehabman also "mislabels" in his USBInjectAll config_patches.plist:

				<dict>
					<key>Comment</key>
					<string>change XHC1 to XHC</string>
					<key>Find</key>
					<data>WEhDMQ==</data>
					<key>Replace</key>
					<data>WEhDXw==</data>
				</dict>
