I should have mentioned that earlier, but forgot, sorry about that.

Assignments under while () etc are generally discouraged as (a) error-prone
and (b) confusing to static analysis tools.

So I'd do

	status = acpi_get_parent(handle, &pr_ahandle);
	while (ACPI_SUCCESS(status)) {

		status = acpi_get_parent(handle, &pr_ahandle);

Apart from this the patch looks OK to me, so please only update this one
and I'll queue up the series.
