The ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) code currently attaches its hotplug context objects directly to ACPI namespace nodes representing hotplug devices. However, after recent changes causing struct acpi_device to be created for every namespace node representing a device (regardless of its status), that is not necessary any more. Moreover, it's vulnerable to the theoretical issue that the ACPI handle passed in the context between handle_hotplug_event() and hotplug_event_work() may become invalid in the meantime (as a result of a concurrent table unload). In principle, this issue might be addressed by adding a non-empty release handler for ACPIPHP hotplug context objects analogous to acpi_scan_drop_device(), but that would duplicate the code in that function and in acpi_device_del_work_fn(). For this reason, it's better to modify ACPIPHP to attach its device hotplug contexts to struct device objects representing hotplug devices and make it use acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() as its notify handler. At the same time, acpi_device_hotplug() can be modified to dispatch the new .hp.event() callback pointing to acpiphp_hotplug_event() from ACPI device objects associated with PCI devices or use the generic ACPI device hotplug code for device objects with matching scan handlers. This allows the existing code duplication between ACPIPHP and the ACPI core to be reduced too and makes further ACPI-based device hotplug consolidation possible. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
