I just found a big problem in this proposal, which affects all the
optional scan handlers.
The problem is that, if we disable a scan handler, platform device nodes
would be created instead by the code above, because there is no scan
handler attached for those ACPI nodes.

If we still want to use this proposal, in order to fix the problem, I
think we can
1. add an ACPI device object flag, as Rafael proposed, but with a
different name, say need_enumerate.
2. set the flag for the ACPI device objects with _HID/_CID, and other
specified devices like thermal, video, etc.
3. clear the need_enumerate flag for devices that HAVE MATCHED SCAN
HANDLER, no matter the return value of the .attach() callback.
4. introduce dummy scan handlers instead of stub functions for those
optional scan handlers, say, if CONFIG_X86_INTEL_LPSS is cleared, a
dummy lpss_handler is registered in acpi_lpss_init().
5. invoke acpi_create_platform_device() for the ACPI device objects with
need_enumerate flag set.
