From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Instead of walking the list of children of an ACPI device directly in order to find the child matching a given bus address, use acpi_find_child_by_adr() for this purpose. Apart from simplifying the code, 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).
