From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
ACPI drivers generally should not be bound to device objects having
scan handlers attatched to them.
However, there is one exception which is the container scan handler.
Namely, it turns out that some BIOSes (on ia64 HP rx2600 in
particular) put container device IDs into the same objects along with
some other more specific ones which makes those device objects match
the container scan handler as well as some other scan handlers or
ACPI drivers. Fortunately, though, the container scan handler is
only needed for hotplug to work and it doesn't actually do anything
to the device objects in question, so it is really OK to have both
the container scan handler and something else attached to the same
device object at the same time.
Following that, make acpi_device_probe() fail with -EINVAL if the
device object being probed has an ACPI scan handler that is not the
container scan handler attached to it.
