Right the behavior would be closer to the code before the 2 fase scan
rework. But just actually making sure we have the right value in unmet_dep
a tiny bit earlier seems cleaner to me.

Note that the one acpi_add_single_object() call which actually sets the
new init_dep parameter to true and the previous place of calling
acpi_scan_dep_init() are very close together, here is the code before
this patch:

        acpi_add_single_object(&device, handle, type, sta, !check_dep);
        if (!device)
                return AE_CTRL_DEPTH;

        acpi_scan_init_hotplug(device);
        if (!check_dep)
                acpi_scan_dep_init();

So we are only doing the acpi_scan_dep_init() call a tiny bit earlier
and wrt which locks are being held when it gets called no changes are
made since it is still called as part of the call-graph below
acpi_bus_check_add(), I explicitly checked the locking situation because
that was my one worry with this patch.
		
And this new approach also has the advantage of not setting dep_unmet=1
(and never clearing it) for devices instantiated through:

acpi_bus_register_early_device()
acpi_bus_scan_fixed()
acpi_add_power_resource()

IOW while looking into fixing the regression of the errors being logged
again I tried to do a cleaner fix then last time.

With that said if you prefer the version you suggest let me know and I'll
post a single v2 patch doing things that way.

If you want to go with your suggestion, shall I then add a dep_unmet=0
statement to the 3 mentioned functions which leave it at 1 when going back
to the old way of handling this ?

Regards,

Hans
