ACPI / scan: Allow ACPI drivers to bind to PNP device objects We generally don't allow ACPI drivers to bind to ACPI device objects that companion "physical" device objects are created for to avoid situations in which two different drivers may attempt to handle one device at the same time. Recent ACPI device enumeration rework extended that approach to ACPI PNP devices by starting to use a scan handler for enumerating them. However, we previously allowed ACPI drivers to bind to ACPI device objects with existing PNP device companions and changing that led to functional regressions on some systems. For this reason, add a special check for PNP devices in acpi_device_probe() so that ACPI drivers can bind to ACPI device objects having existing PNP device companions as before.
