Which uses ACPI_HANDLE() to retrieve the companion ACPI handle for
dev. This checks dev against NULL and then passes it to
ACPI_COMPANION() which resolves to to_acpi_device_node() on the dev's
fwnode field and that involves an is_acpi_device_node() check and some
pointer arithmetic via container_of(). Of course, this needs to be
done in every iteration of the loop until a matching handle is found
(or not), and because dev is always the same, the result of this will
be the same every time. If this is not pointless overhead then I'm not
quite sure how to call it.
Now, if struct acpi_device *adev is passed as the argument, the check
above reduces to (adev->handle == entry->handle) which is much more
straightforward IMV.

Yeah, that works too.
