Since acpi_evaluate_object() returns acpi_status and not plain int,
ACPI_FAILURE() should be used for checking its return value. Also
add some detailed debug info when acpi_evaluate_object() failed.

I said "too bad there isn't an *easy* way" to include more
information.  IMHO this is too ugly and error-prone to use
consistently.  And if you are going to add more information, why did
you only do it for some of the calls and not others?

I considered adding a %p extension to print the pathname; I don't know
if that's worthwhile or not.  I think it would be ideal if we had a
struct device and could use dev_info(), and then a way to connect the
struct device with an ACPI path, like maybe a dmesg note when we
create the struct device corresponding to an ACPI Device node.

Well, we can generally print something like that from pci_acpi_setup().

What about the below?  Wouldn't it generate too much output on some systems?

Yeah, that probably would generate an awful lot of output.  I was just
hoping to avoid treating ACPI pathnames as first-class objects.  What
do you think about a %p extension?  I played with that once, but I
seem to have lost the patch.

That's perfect.  If we had a struct device, we could just use
dev_info() for these messages.  But I have no idea how hard it would
be to get at the struct device.

Well, it may be worth doing.  However, that information is readily available from
sysfs anyway, you only need to follow the firmware_node link in the PCI device's
sysfs directory and read the path attribute from there.  For example, on my
system:

$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:0b:00.0/firmware_node/path
\_SB_.PCI0.RP05.PXSX

>From the pci_dev side that is trivial: use ACPI_COMPANION().  The other way
around is rather more difficult as browsing a list would be involved.
