    PNP / ACPI: Use DEVICE_ACPI_HANDLE() for device ACPI handle access · cc8e7a35
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    The PNP ACPI driver squirrels the ACPI handles of PNP devices' ACPI
    companions, but this isn't correct, because those handles should be
    accessed using the DEVICE_ACPI_HANDLE() macro operating on struct
    device objects.
    
    Using DEVICE_ACPI_HANDLE() in the PNP ACPI driver instead of the
    driver's own copies of the ACPI handles allows us to avoid a problem
    with docking stations where a machine docked before suspend to RAM
    and undocked while suspended crashes during the subsequent resume (in
    that case the ACPI companion of the PNP device in question doesn't
    exist any more while the device is being resumed).  It also allows us
    to avoid the problem where suspend to RAM fails when the machine was
    undocked while suspended before (again, the ACPI companion of the PNP
    device is not present any more while it is being suspended).
    
    This change doesn't fix all of the the PNP ACPI driver's problems
    with PNP devices in docking stations (generally speaking, the driver
    has no idea that devices can come and go and doesn't even attempt to
    handle such events), but at least it makes suspend work for the
    users of docking stations who don't use the PNP devices located in
    there.
