These two lists agree with each other most of the time, but not always (like in error paths in some cases), and the list of children in struct acpi_device is not generally safe to use without locking. In principle, it should always be walked under acpi_device_lock, but in practice holding acpi_scan_lock is sufficient for that too. However, its users may not know whether or not they operate under acpi_scan_lock and at least in some cases it is not accessed in a safe way (note that ACPI devices may go away as a result of hot-remove, unlike OF nodes). For this reason, it is better to consolidate the code that needs to walk the children of an ACPI device which is the purpose of this patch series. Overall, it switches over all of the users of the list of children in struct acpi_device to using helpers based on the driver core's mechanics and finally drops that list, but some extra cleanups are done on the way. Please refer to the patch changelogs for details. Thanks!
