Because different hotplug source event may has different
OST code definition. So I want to use a function to handle
the the complexity. The originial function like this: 

static int acpi_ost_status_code(u32 src, int error)
{
        switch (src) {
        case ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST:
        case ACPI_OST_EC_OSPM_EJECT:
                if (error == -EPERM)
                        return ACPI_OST_SC_EJECT_NOT_SUPPORTED;
                if (error == -EBUSY)
                        return ACPI_OST_SC_DEVICE_BUSY;
                break;
        case ACPI_OST_EC_OSPM_INSERTION:
                if (error == -EPERM)
                        return ACPI_OST_SC_INSERT_NOT_SUPPORTED;
                if (error == -EBUSY)
                        return ACPI_OST_SC_INSERT_IN_PROGRESS;
                break;
        }
        return error ? ACPI_OST_SC_NON_SPECIFIC_FAILURE : ACPI_OST_SC_SUCCESS;
}

The ACPI_OST_EC_OSPM_INSERTION represents "Insertion Processing
(Source Event: 0x200)" that it has different ost code definition.
Because the machine supports "Insertion" that has not yet appeared.
So I removed the ACPI_OST_EC_OSPM_INSERTION case block.

Currently the above switch-case works. But if considering
ACPI_OST_EC_OSPM_INSERTION in the future then it's not enough.

Thanks a lot!
