[ Upstream commit 81eeb2f57782d0dff15db97665599121e289b614 ]

The macro requires to call acpi_dev_put() on each iteration.
Due to this it doesn't tolerate sudden disappearence of the devices.

Document all these nuances to prevent users blindly call it without
understanding the possible issues.

While at it, add the note to the acpi_dev_get_next_match_dev() and
advertise acpi_dev_put() instead of put_device() in the whole family
of the helper functions.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

[ Upstream commit bf263f64e804a74ace9bd37f49341d68a653e5e6 ]

To ensure we handle situations in which multiple sensors of the same
model (and therefore _HID) are present in a system, we need to be able
to iterate over devices matching a known _HID but unknown _UID and _HRV
 - add acpi_dev_get_next_match_dev() to accommodate that possibility and
change acpi_dev_get_first_match_dev() to simply call the new function
with a NULL starting point. Add an iterator macro for convenience.

A break following a return statement is pointless, so drop all of
the breaks following return statements from this file.

<content type='text'>
With a recent fix to the pinctrl-cherryview driver we now have
2 drivers open-coding the parameter building / passing for calling
_REG on an ACPI handle.

Add a helper for this, so that these 2 drivers can be converted to this
helper.

There are users outside of ACPI realm which reimplementing the comparator
function to check if the given device matches to given HID and UID.

For better utilization, introduce a helper for everyone to use.

<title>bus_find_device: Unify the match callback with class_find_device</title>

<id>urn:sha1:418e3ea157efb0eb2c6dd412a8d5f052477c7f5a</id>
<content type='text'>
There is an arbitrary difference between the prototypes of
bus_find_device() and class_find_device() preventing their callers
from passing the same pair of data and match() arguments to both of
them, which is the const qualifier used in the prototype of
class_find_device().  If that qualifier is also used in the
bus_find_device() prototype, it will be possible to pass the same
match() callback function to both bus_find_device() and
class_find_device(), which will allow some optimizations to be made in
order to avoid code duplication going forward.  Also with that, constify
the "data" parameter as it is passed as a const to the match function.

For this reason, change the prototype of bus_find_device() to match
the prototype of class_find_device() and adjust its callers to use the
const qualifier in accordance with the new prototype of it.

<content type='text'>
The prototype of bus_find_device() will be unified with that of
class_find_device() subsequently, but for this purpose the callback
functions passed to it need to take (const void *) as the second
argument.  Consequently, they cannot modify the memory pointed to by
that argument which currently is not the case for acpi_dev_match_cb().
However, acpi_dev_match_cb() really need not modify the "match" object
passed to it, because acpi_dev_get_first_match_dev() which uses it via
bus_find_device() can easily convert the result of bus_find_device()
into the pointer to return.

For this reason, update acpi_dev_match_cb() to avoid the redundant
memory updates.
