[PATCH v2] ACPI: video: Switch over to auxiliary bus type
From: Rafael J. Wysocki

Commit 02c057ddefef ("ACPI: video: Convert the driver to a platform one")
switched over the ACPI video bus driver from an ACPI driver to a platform
driver, but that change introduced an unwanted and unexpected side effect.
Namely, on some systems, the ACPI device object of the ACPI video bus
device is an ACPI companion of multiple platform devices and, after
adding video_device_ids[] as an acpi_match_table to the acpi_video_bus
platform driver, all of those devices started to match that driver and
its probe callback is invoked for all of them (it fails, but it leaves
a confusing message in the log). Moreover, the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
of the ACPI video driver module matches all of the devices sharing the
ACPI companion with the ACPI video bus device.
To address this, make the core ACPI device enumeration code create an
auxiliary device for the ACPI video bus device object instead of a
platform device and switch over the ACPI video bus driver (once more)
to an auxiliary driver.
Auxiliary driver generally is a better match for ACPI video bus than
platform driver, among other things because the ACPI video bus device
does not require any resources to be allocated for it during
enumeration. It also allows the ACPI video bus driver to stop abusing
device matching based on ACPI device IDs and it allows a special case
to be dropped from acpi_create_platform_device() because that function
need not worry about the ACPI video bus device any more.
