This code was added by 497fb54f578e ("ACPI / PCI: Fix NULL pointer
dereference in acpi_get_pci_dev() (rev. 2)"). Not sure if it's worth
a Fixes: tag.
acpi_get_pci_dev() is used by only five callers, three of which are
video/backlight related. I'm always skeptical of one-off interfaces
like this, but I don't know enough to propose any refactoring or other
alternatives.
I'll leave this for Rafael, but if I were applying I would silently
touch up the subject to match convention:
PCI/ACPI: Do not reference PCI device after it has been released

This should use "%02x.%d" to be consistent with the dev_set_name() in
pci_setup_device().
