Personally, I would do the cleanup that can be done without refactoring the library function as the first step, just to reduce the amount of changes made in one go if nothing else. Next, I'd look at introducing something like acpi_create_platform_device_ops(struct acpi_device *adev, const struct property_entry *properties, const struct *platform_device_create_ops *ops); where ops would be a set of callbacks to invoke as a matter of customization. Then, acpi_create_platform_device() can be defined as a wrapper around the above.
