acpi_bus_scan() traverses the namespace to enumerate devices and uses acpi_add_single_object() to create acpi_devices. When the platform notifies us of a hot-plug event, we need to traverse part of the namespace again to figure out what appeared or disappeared. (We don't yet call acpi_bus_scan() during hot-plug, but I plan to do that in the future.) This patch makes acpi_add_single_object() notice when we already have an acpi_device, so we don't need to make a new one.
