Looking at your above comment it is indeed. Thanks for clarification!
But should we have acpi_dev_*() namespace for this function if it takes handle?

For time being nothing better than following comes to my mind:

__acpi_dev_flag_dependency_met() => __acpi_flag_device_dependency_met()
acpi_dev_flag_dependency_met() => acpi_flag_device_dependency_met()
