    ACPI / scan: Follow priorities of IDs when matching scan handlers · 87b85b3c

    The IDs of ACPI device nodes stored in their pnp.ids member arrays
    are sorted by decreasing priority (i.e. the highest-priority ID is
    the first entry).  This means that when matching scan handlers to
    device nodes, the namespace scanning code should walk the list of
    scan handlers for each device node ID instead of walking the list
    of device node IDs for each handler (the latter causes the first
    handler matching any of the device node IDs to be chosen, although
    there may be another handler matching an ID of a higher priority
    which should be preferred).  Make the code follow this observation.
    
    This change has been suggested and justified by Toshi Kani.
