The problem basically is that acpi_bind_one() creates the "physical_node"
and "firmware_node" sysfs files, so both directories of the device nodes
involved need to exist at this point.  Moreover, we want it to be called
before a driver is probed, so that the driver's .probe() routine can use
the information available from ACPI.  This means it needs to be called
from device_add() and more-or-less where platform_notify() is called.

That's the reason why we decided to use the code in glue.c for the time
being.  If you see a better way to do that, however, I'll be happy to
implement it. :-)

Well, maybe there is one.  Perhaps we can make acpi_platform_notify() 
call acpi_bind_one() upfront and only if that fails, do the whole
type->find_device() dance?  Of course, acpi_bind_one() would need to
be modified slightly too, like in the patch below.

If we did that, acpi_i2c_add_device() would only need to assign acpi_handle
as appropriate before calling i2c_new_device() (and analogously for SPI).

What do you think?
