You didn't add this problem, but since you're touching the code, I'll
point it out.  This message will look to the user like:

    ACPI: Unable to add the device

which is useless.  The user has no idea what device we're talking
about or why we can't add it, so he can't *do* anything with the
message.  Almost every printk of a constant string has this problem.
Using dev_err() instead of printk() would help a lot, as would
including the error code (result).  Of course, this would be a
separate patch that would update all the messages in the driver at the
same time.
