Subject: [RFT][PATCH v1 0/3] ACPI: scan: Defer enumeration of devices with significant dependencies

Hi,

This series addresses some enumeration ordering issues by using information
from _DEP to defer the enumeration of devices that are likely to depend on
operation region (OpRegion) handlers supplied by the drivers of other
devices.

This allows the OpRegion suppliers to be probed and start working before the
devices depending on them are enumerated.

Please see the patch changelogs for details.

Hans, please test this series on the system with OpRegion dependencies in
control methods used for device enumeration.

Thanks!
