This is the same mistake as in the analogous AC driver patch, as it
changes the binary interface between the kernel and user space.

Please leave it as is for now (at least in this patch).

Passing the struct acpi_device pointer as the last argument here is
fine, no need to change that.

The white space cleanup can be done in a separate patch (here and in
the other places).
