Hi Vasilis,

The above code should be like below. Then you do not need to initialize
ret, either.  Please also add some comments explaining about
prepare_remove can fail, but remove cannot.

	if (dev->driver && dev->driver->ops.prepare_remove) {
		ret = dev->driver->ops.prepare_remove(dev);
		if (ret)
			return ret;
	}

I'd prefer pre_remove, which indicates this interface is called before
remove.  prepare_remove sounds as if it only performs preparation, which
may be misleading.

BTW, Rafael mentioned we should avoid extending ACPI driver's
interface...  But I do not have other idea, either.


Thanks,
