[PATCH v3] ACPI: glue: Reduce debug noise from acpi_device_notify()
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 16:14:37 EST
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
When debug is enabled in the ACPI glue code that handles binding
devices to ACPI companions, acpi_device_notify() produces a lot of
message noise related to devices that have no ACPI companions.
Reduce that noise by checking the most obvious case, ACPI device
objects, directly and returning from acpi_device_notify() in that
case without printing any debug messages. Also avoid printing a
debug message when there is no matching ACPI companion lookup
method for the given device, which is the case for the vast
majority of devices.
Additionally, make the debug messages that get printed more informative
and adjust the "success" debug message for devices whose ACPI companions
have no ACPI handles (for example, they are fixed event buttons).

v2 -> v3:
* Do not change pr_fmt() definition (Sashiko)
* adjust the "success" debug message for devices whose ACPI companions
have no ACPI handles
* Update changelog
v1 -> v2:
* Do not return early from acpi_device_notify() for devices
without a bus type (Sashiko)
* Do not print messages for devices without matching ACPI bus
type definition (the vast majority)
* Update changelog
