What prevents you from walking the acpi device tree from sr_probe()?
Or even if you need to walk it from sr_init(), you still need to store
the result and associate it with a specific cdrom device.  It is
something which is specific to single device.  You can't use single
global data structure for all devices like this.

I would still go for bool but it's a peripheral issue.

Associate with specific device and using timer should work.

Oh, I meant the code.  ie. instead of

	switch (device type) {
	type a:
		something something
		break;
	default:
		something something slightly differently
		break;
	}

do something like the following,

	switch (device type) {
	type a:
		determine what to do
		break;
	default:
		determine what to do slightly differently;
		break;
	}
	do what has been determined;

Thanks.
