Instead of fail that function and not creating the acpi_device node consequently, set status to 0 so that later when the driver for that device is probing, it can find the acpi_device node and proceed normally. And at that time, the handler for the operation region is ready and its _STA evaluation will succeed, its present status can be checked there. Even there will be no driver using this node later, it doesn't seem hurt to have one more acpi_device node created with status set to 0. This happens on Microsoft Surface 3, where the SPI device node NTRG's _STA touches GPIO fields and the SPI core driver will only enumerate SPI devices from ACPI if the acpi_device node is 1: created; 2: _STA indicates it's present. Note that due to another problem in SPI driver, for NTRG to be actually enumerated, some changes have to be made in the SPI layer, which is addressed by Mika(not send out yet): https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104291#c23 Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104291 Reported-by: Bastien Nocera Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu Reviewed-by: Mika Westerberg Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
