Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ACPI: Additional changes on top of "ACPI / driver core: Store a device pointer in struct acpi_dev_node"

Hi Everybody,

The following two patches make changes that in my opinion are worth making on
top of https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3167391/ .  The first one simply
replaces DEVICE_ACPI_HANDLE with ACPI_HANDLE everywhere (as the former is now
a simple alias of the latter) and the second one adds ACPI device reference
counting to acpi_bind_one()/acpi_unbind_one() to help catch device removal
ordering issues that would cause the kernel to crash.

Thanks,
Rafael
