With the new 2 step scanning process, which defers instantiating some ACPI-devices based on their _DEP to the second step, the following may happen: 1. During the first acpi_walk_namespace(acpi_bus_check_add) call acpi_scan_check_dep() gets called on the Battery ACPI dev handle and adds one or more deps for this handle to the acpi_dep_list 2. During the first acpi_bus_attach() call one or more of the suppliers of these deps get their driver attached and acpi_walk_dep_device_list(supplier_handle) gets called. At this point acpi_bus_get_device(dep->consumer) get called, but since the battery has DEPs it has not been instantiated during the first acpi_walk_namespace(acpi_bus_check_add), so the acpi_bus_get_device(dep->consumer) call fails. Before this commit, acpi_walk_dep_device_list() would now continue *without* removing the acpi_dep_data entry for this supplier,consumer pair from the acpi_dep_list. 3. During the second acpi_walk_namespace(acpi_bus_check_add) call an acpi_device gets instantiated for the battery and acpi_scan_dep_init() gets called to initialize its dep_unmet val. Before this commit, the dep_unmet count would include DEPs for suppliers for which acpi_walk_dep_device_list(supplier_handle) has already been called, so it will never become 0 and the ACPI battery driver will never get attached / bind. Fix the ACPI battery driver never binding in this scenario by making acpi_walk_dep_device_list() always remove matching acpi_dep_data entries independent of the acpi_bus_get_device(dep->consumer) call succeeding or not.
