Good catch!

Still, I don't think we need a new flag, because we know that that
scan handler doesn't support hotplug, because its hotplug profile
hasn't been registered (that actually applies to all scan handlers
without hotplug support, not only the root host bridge). Moreover,
if it does support hotplug, but the hotplug profile hasn't been
registered due to an error, we still should not install the notify
handler I think. So, I prefer the patch below.

And this fix will remain useful after my recent series at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=138470560909690&w=4

Thanks,
Rafael

Subject: ACPI / hotplug: Ignore notifications for scan handlers without hotplug

If a scan handler's hotplug profile has not been registered, do not
install acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() as a notify handler for devices
with the given scan handler attached.

This fixes a problem with the PCI host bridge scan handler that
installs its own notify handler, handle_hotplug_event_root(), by
itself and doesn't register its hotplug profile. Toshi says

"Nevertheless, the ACPI hotplug framework also installs the common
notify handler, acpi_hotplug_notify_cb(), for PCI root bridges.
This causes acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() to call _OST method with
unsupported error as hotplug.enabled is not set."

Moreover, it is pointless to install acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() as
a notify handler for device objects whose scan handlers don't
support hotplug, because it will always fail for them.
