If you're transmitting a patch, that needs to be a signed-off-by not an
acked-by (because you're part of the transmission sequence).

For about the third time, no to this: You're exposing deep SCSI internal
magic you shouldn't be touching. The whole reason scsi_bus_type is in
scsi_priv is that only SCSI internals should be touching it. We don't
want its use to leak outside of this.
The only reason you need it is because the odd type acpi_bus_type
insists on a bus_type parent. So the correct fix is some type of
wrapper in scsi_lib.c:
scsi_register_acpi_bus_type(struct acpi_bus_type *bus)
{
bus->bus = &scsi_bus_type;
return register_acpi_bus_type(bus);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(scsi_register_acpi_bus_type);
For symmetry we probably want the unregister (it can be a pure inline
passthrough).
