Ah O.K. I understood. Even if the ONLINE event disappers, my application can get
ADD event from acpi_device_add_finalize(). Of course, I need to change my
application.
If the ADD event of container device is notified after hot adding devices which
are contained into container device, there is no reason to leave ONLINE event.
