[PATCH] acpi: fix single linked list manipulation

From: Akinobu Mita
Date: Sat Oct 28 2006 - 14:53:08 EST


This patch fixes single linked list manipulation for sub_driver.
If the remving entry is not on the head of the sub_driver list,
it goes into infinate loop.

Though that infinate loop doesn't happen. Because the only user of
acpi_pci_register_dirver() is acpiphp.
