These will be ignored with -ENODEV.

For this acpi_find_child_device() will return FIND_CHILD_MIN_SCORE if
I'm not mistaken.

As well as for the three above.

And the rest will be ignored.

So in fact we don't want to have an ACPI companion for (PNP0A08:00,
0x00, false).

This is a hostbridge special case and let me think about this for a while.
