Yeah, I left the "follow the status quo and open-code it" part out of 
the above example for brevity ;)

Probably 95% of the calls to acpi_match_device() are only doing so to 
retrieve the driver_data, so the helper could provide scope for further 
cleanup if anyone wants, too.

v3 looks good, thanks for persevering - I'll leave the rest up to Vinod 
and Rafael.

Cheers,
