It does need to be called after acpi_scan_init(), because it relies on
struct device and their fwnode to be initialized. In particular to find a
PCI device we call pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(), which needs the PCI
topology made available by acpi_scan_init().

It does not need to be before the subsequent functions however, I can move
it at the end.

We don't need the table anymore, I'll drop the reference
