As the comment above it indicates, acpi_get_object_info is intended for
early probe usage and as such should not call any methods which may rely
on OpRegions, before this commit it was also calling _STA, which on some
systems does rely on OpRegions.
Calling _STA before things are ready leads to errors such as these:
[ 0.123579] ACPI Error: No handler for Region [ECRM] (00000000ba9edc4c)
[GenericSerialBus] (20170831/evregion-166)
[ 0.123601] ACPI Error: Region GenericSerialBus (ID=9) has no handler
(20170831/exfldio-299)
[ 0.123618] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed
\_SB.I2C1.BAT1._STA, AE_NOT_EXIST (20170831/psparse-550)
End 2015 support for the _SUB method was removed for exactly the same
reason. Removing current_status from struct acpi_device_info only has
a limit impact. Within ACPICA it is only used by 2 debug messages, both
of which are modified to no longer print it with this commit.
Outside of ACPICA, for Linux there is only one user. For which a patch to
remove the dependency on the current_status field is available.
