By this commit, "202317a : ACPI / scan: Add acpi_device objects for all
device nodes in the namespace", all device nodes in the namespace are
shown under /sys/bus/acpi/devices directory even if the devices are not
present and not functional. And if a device node has _SUN method, it is
decoded and the sun value is cached to acpi_device_pnp->sun.

But when device is not present and not functional, some firmware returns
wrong sun value. And the wrong value is cached to acpi_device_pnp->sun.

Therefore, even if a device is hot added and firmware returns correct
sun value of the device, the value is not reflected to
acpi_device_pnp->sun. So user cannot know correct sun value of the
device.

By not caching sun value, the patch fixes the issue.

Queued up for 3.17-rc4, but with a different changelog, because in my opinion
the main problem is that _SUN is not guaranteed to return the same value
every time it is evaluated, so either it should not be cached, or we should
update the cached value whenever the device status changes.

I see. I have no objection to changing the changelog.
Please change it.
