From: Bjorn Helgaas Remove the assumption that acpi_bus_register_driver() returns the number of devices claimed. Returning the count is unreliable because devices may be hot-plugged in the future (admittedly not applicable for this driver). This also fixes a bug: if sonypi_acpi_driver was registered but found no devices, sonypi_exit() did not unregister it.
