From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> ACPI scan handlers should always be attached to struct acpi_device objects before any ACPI drivers, but there is a window during which a driver may be attached to a struct acpi_device before checking if there is a matching scan handler. Namely, that will happen if an ACPI driver module is loaded during acpi_bus_scan() right after the first namespace walk is complete and before the given device is processed by the second namespace walk. To prevent that from happening, set the match_driver flags of struct acpi_device objects right before running device_attach() for them in acpi_bus_device_attach(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
