This looked odd. It turned out this is the pattern that
scripts/mod/file2alias.c::do_acpi_entry() creates.

I think you should just put
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, asusrb_ids);

here, like all other drivers do, and drop the odd looking alias.

All others drivers except drivers/platform/x86/hp-wireless.c, that is.
(I noticed that you also wrote that driver.) It should just use
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() too

If asusrb_exit() will be run asusrb_init() must have completed
successfully before, right? And is there a way for asuspl_dev to be
NULL after asusrb_init() succeeded?
