Well, maybe there is one.  Perhaps we can make acpi_platform_notify() 
call acpi_bind_one() upfront and only if that fails, do the whole
type->find_device() dance?  Of course, acpi_bind_one() would need to
be modified slightly too, like in the patch below.

If we did that, acpi_i2c_add_device() would only need to assign acpi_handle
as appropriate before calling i2c_new_device() (and analogously for SPI).

What do you think? 

This is certainly better than the thing we use currently. It makes adding
I2C and SPI support much shorter and simpler. If others don't object I
would suggest that we switch to use this method.
