I wish you'd given me a clue about *why* you think it's better to
check the handle.

I considered checking the handle, but I used the parent pointer
because:

  1) There are synonyms for the root handle: ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT is the
     special-case #define to allow ACPICA users to start traversing
     the namespace before they know any handles, but acpi_gbl_root_node
     is the real root handle.  In fact, if you call acpi_get_parent()
     on a child of the root, it returns acpi_gbl_root_node, not
     ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT.  This is a bit messy, and it seems safest to
     me to just avoid testing against ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT at all.

  2) It's a reminder that the acpi_device tree data structure should
     be a proper fully-connected tree with exactly one root.  If we
     assume a valid tree, there's exactly one node with no parent.
     That's more fundamental than the handle, where you have to
     analyze more code to make sure we don't assign ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT
     to several nodes.

     (There is existing code that allows disconnected trees to be built.
     For example, dock_create_acpi_device() can call acpi_bus_add()
     with a NULL parent pointer.  This "shouldn't happen," but I
     consider the fact that the interface allows this to be a bug.
     That's one reason I'm removing the "parent" argument from
     acpi_add_single_object() and related interfaces.)

  3) We build acpi_devices for things with no handle, e.g., functional
     fixed hardware.  Their handles happen to be NULL but I prefer to
     think of them as undefined and not rely on them at all.

  4) acpi_walk_namespace(..., ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT, ...) doesn't actually
     visit the root node; it starts with the children.  I consider
     this a bug.  If it were ever fixed, we would probably call the
     callback with acpi_gbl_root_node, not ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT, so the
     root acpi_device handle would no longer be ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT.
