So why not rename those instead: platform_notify() to
platform_notify_add() and so on? You are in any case modifying
acpi_device_notify() in this series, and I think there is only one
place left where .platform_notify is assigned. I believe you also
wouldn't then need to worry about the function name collision (3/6).

I would prefer the "_add" ending, but in any case, FWIW:
