Hi Rafael, Lorenzo,

I can avoid adding the scan handler in acpi_indirectio.c by skipping the
child enumeration, like with this change in scan.c:

+static const struct acpi_device_id indirect_io_hosts[] = {
+ {"HISI0191", 0}, /* HiSilicon LPC host */
+ {},
+};
+
+static bool acpi_is_indirect_io_slave(struct acpi_device *device)
+{
+ struct acpi_device *parent = dev->parent;
+
+ if (!parent || acpi_match_device_ids(parent, indirect_io_hosts))
+ return false;
+
+ return true;
+}
+
static bool acpi_is_serial_bus_slave(struct acpi_device *device)
{
struct list_head resource_list;
bool is_serial_bus_slave = false;

+ if (acpi_is_indirect_io_slave(device))
+ return true;
+
/* Macs use device properties in lieu of _CRS resources */


This means I can move all this scan code into the LLDD.

What do you think? Please let me know.

John
