Description

i.e. it fails to detect that a driver is a driver when `RegistryPath` is not used, as result it fails to detect that a pointer to `_DRIVER_OBJECT` is a pointer and correctly decompile the structures, as result it also ignores some code and fails to recognize that refs to funcs are refs.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Windows driver-detection logic and the handling of RegistryPath, _DRIVER_OBJECT, and function references; done means drivers are recognized without RegistryPath and their structures, code, and function references are decompiled correctly.
