It looks like this comment might need updating, since we no longer
even get here if we already have an acpi_device.  Presumably you take
care of the "start" it mentions elsewhere now.

I think all (both) callers of acpi_bus_check_add() supply a
return_value pointer, so you could just remove the test.
