That said I'd prefer to put the check into acpi_bus_device_attach() like in

Subject: ACPI / scan: Do not try to attach scan handlers to devices having them

In acpi_bus_device_attach(), if there is an ACPI device object
for the given handle and that device object has a scan handler
attached to it already, there's nothing more to do for that handle
and the function should just return success immediately.  Make
that happen.
