*((u32 *)&adev->status) = acpi_device_always_present(adev) ?
ACPI_STA_DEFAULT : sta;

and I guess it could still be static inline?

But that said, evaluating _STA for the always present devices is
pointless (as Lukas noticed), so why not to modify
acpi_bus_get_status() to do something like:

    if (acpi_device_always_present(adev)) {
        acpi_set_device_status(adev, ACPI_STA_DEFAULT);
        return 0;
    }

upfront and modify the other path invoking acpi_set_device_status() accordingly.

And in that path, which I seem to have overlooked before, the
acpi_set_device_status() call is too early for invoking
acpi_device_always_present(adev), so the latter should be called
directly from acpi_add_single_object() like

    acpi_init_device_object(device, handle, type, sta);
    if (acpi_device_always_present(adev))
        acpi_set_device_status(adev, ACPI_STA_DEFAULT);

Thanks,
Rafael
