acpi_driver_data just accesses a field of its argument.  Is there a worry 
that from one call to the next it could have a different value?

Perhaps it would be better to first test !device, then initialize fujitsu, 
and then test the result of fujitsu?  The acpi_driver_data, which might 
someday do something more complicated, would only be called once.
