From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Devices created by acpi_create_platform_device() sometimes may need to be added to the device hierarchy as children of PCI bridges. For this purpose, however, the struct pci_dev objects representing those bridges need to exist before the platform devices in question are added, but this is only possible if the PCI root bridge driver is registered before the initial scanning of the ACPI namespace (that driver's .add() routine creates the required struct pci_dev objects). For this reason, call acpi_pci_root_init() from acpi_scan_init() before scanning the ACPI namespace for the first time instead of running it from a separate subsys initcall. Since the previous patch has changed the ACPI namespace scanning algorithm, this change does not affect the PCI root bridge driver's functionality during boot. It also makes the situation during boot more similar to the situation during hot-plug (in which the PCI root bridge driver is always present) and so it helps to reduce arbitary differences between the hot-plug and boot PCI root bridge code.
