From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Instead of walking the list of children of an ACPI device directly, use acpi_dev_for_each_child() to carry out an action for all of the given ACPI device's children. This will help to eliminate the children list head from struct acpi_device as it is redundant and it is used in questionable ways in some places (in particular, locking is needed for walking the list pointed to it safely, but it is often missing).
