This whole "if (!device)" check and the printk should be deleted. If
the ACPI core calls .add() with a null acpi_device pointer, it's a
core bug, and it's better to take the oops and get the backtrace.

This message looks dubious. Receiving this event should be a normal
occurrence, so the message might be useful for debugging, but doesn't
seem like a KERN_WARNING event for the user.
