The way acpi_find_child_device() works currently is that, if there are two (or more) devices with the same _ADR value in the same namespace scope (which is not specifically allowed by the spec and the OS behavior in that case is not defined), the first one of them found to be present (with the help of _STA) will be returned. This covers the majority of cases, but is not sufficient if some of the devices in question have a _HID (or _CID) returning some valid ACPI/PNP device IDs (which is disallowed by the spec) and the ASL writers' expectation appears to be that the OS will match devices without a valid ACPI/PNP device ID against a given bus address first. To cover this special case as well, modify find_child_checks() to prefer devices without ACPI/PNP device IDs over devices that have them.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
