Rafael J. Wysocki 681e7187ae ACPI: scan: Simplify initialization of power and sleep buttons
It should be perfectly fine to use ACPI if the "fixed" power or sleep
buttons cannot be initialized.  Moreover, running acpi_bus_scan()
successfully on ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT generally causes many devices to
be enumerated and probed, possibly including the entire PCI bus, so
unregistering acpi_root if the registration of the "fixed" buttons
fails is rather unhelpful.

For this reason, do not fail acpi_scan_init() when
acpi_bus_scan_fixed() fails and turn the latter into a void function.

While at it, drop the outdated and misleading comment from
acpi_bus_scan_fixed().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
