PCI: pciehp: Drop pointless ACPI-based "slot detection" check Jarod Wilson reports that ExpressCard hotplug doesn't work on HP ZBook G2. The problem turns out to be the ACPI-based "slot detection" code called from pciehp_probe() which uses questionable heuristics based on what ACPI objects are present for the PCIe port device to figure out whether to register a hotplug slot for that port. That code is used if there is at least one PCIe port having an ACPI device configuration object related to hotplug (such as _EJ0 or _RMV), and the Thunderbolt port on the ZBook has _RMV. Of course, Thunderbolt and PCIe native hotplug need not be mutually exclusive (as they aren't on the ZBook), so that rule is simply incorrect. Moreover, the ACPI-based "slot detection" check does not add any value if pciehp_probe() is called at all and the service type of the device object it has been called for is PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_HP, because PCIe hotplug services are only registered if the _OSC handshake in acpi_pci_root_add() allows the kernel to control the PCIe native hotplug feature. No more checks need to be carried out to decide whether or not to register a native PCIe hotlug slot in that case. For the above reasons, make pciehp_probe() check if it has been called for the right service type and drop the pointless ACPI-based "slot detection" check from it. Also remove the entire code whose only user is that check (the entire pciehp_acpi.c file goes away as a result) and drop function headers related to it from the internal pciehp header file.
