Hans de Goede 0f347aa07f ACPI: scan: Fix battery devices sometimes never binding
With the new 2 step scanning process, which defers instantiating some
ACPI-devices based on their _DEP to the second step, the following may
happen:

1. During the first acpi_walk_namespace(acpi_bus_check_add) call
   acpi_scan_check_dep() gets called on the Battery ACPI dev handle and
   adds one or more deps for this handle to the acpi_dep_list

2. During the first acpi_bus_attach() call one or more of the suppliers of
   these deps get their driver attached and
   acpi_walk_dep_device_list(supplier_handle) gets called.

   At this point acpi_bus_get_device(dep->consumer) get called,
   but since the battery has DEPs it has not been instantiated during the
   first acpi_walk_namespace(acpi_bus_check_add), so the
   acpi_bus_get_device(dep->consumer) call fails.

   Before this commit, acpi_walk_dep_device_list() would now continue
   *without* removing the acpi_dep_data entry for this supplier,consumer
   pair from the acpi_dep_list.

3. During the second acpi_walk_namespace(acpi_bus_check_add) call
   an acpi_device gets instantiated for the battery and
   acpi_scan_dep_init() gets called to initialize its dep_unmet val.

   Before this commit, the dep_unmet count would include DEPs for
   suppliers for which acpi_walk_dep_device_list(supplier_handle)
   has already been called, so it will never become 0 and the
   ACPI battery driver will never get attached / bind.

Fix the ACPI battery driver never binding in this scenario by making
acpi_walk_dep_device_list() always remove matching acpi_dep_data
entries independent of the acpi_bus_get_device(dep->consumer) call
succeeding or not.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
