If the module can not be unloaded(no module exit call), then we should
be safe.

Is it this one? If it is, I'll test it and then add the unload
functionality to the PMIC drivers.

Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Events: Add invocation protection for operation region callbacks.

This patch adds invocation protection around operation region callbacks to
offer a module safe environment for OSPM provided address space handlers.

It is likely that OSPM where ModuleDevice is supported will implement
specific address space handlers in the modules.  Thus the unloading of
the handlers' owner modules may lead to program crash around the invocation
if the handler callbacks are invoked without protection.  Since the
handler callbacks are invoked inside of ACPICA, it is better to implement
invocation protection inside of ACPICA.
As address space handlers are expected to be executed in parallel, it is
not a good choice to implement protection using locks.  This patch uses
reference counting based protection mechanism.  When OSPM calls
acpi_remove_address_space_handler(), the function waits until all invocations
exit to ensure no invocation can happen after the unloading of the modules.

Note that this might be a workaround and not tested, better solution could
be implemented to tune the design of the namespace objects. Lv Zheng.

Well, you need to wait for the patch below to be applied to upstream ACPICA
and transfered to Linux from there.
