From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> To allow user space to check which ACPI device object the dock station is represented by, make acpi_dock_add() indicate to platform_device_register_full() which ACPI device object should be the companion of the new platform device. This also ensures that the ACPI device object in question will not go away while the dock platform device is present (which is always). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
