Due to commit db3e50f3234b (device property: Get rid of struct
fwnode_handle type field), ACPI_HANDLE() inadvertently became
a GPL-only call. The call path that led to that was:
ACPI_HANDLE()
ACPI_COMPANION()
to_acpi_device_node()
is_acpi_device_node()
acpi_device_fwnode_ops
DECLARE_ACPI_FWNODE_OPS(acpi_device_fwnode_ops);
...and the new DECLARE_ACPI_FWNODE_OPS() includes
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, whereas previously it was a static struct.
In order to avoid changing any of that, let's instead provide ever
so slightly better encapsulation of those struct fwnode_operations
instances. Those do not really need to be directly used in
inline function calls in header files. Simply moving two small
functions (is_acpi_device_node and is_acpi_data_node) out of
acpi_bus.h, and into a .c file, does that.
That leaves the internals of struct fwnode_operations as GPL-only
(which I think was the intent all along), but un-breaks any driver
code out there that relies on the ACPI subsystem's being (historically)
an EXPORT_SYMBOL-usable system. By that, I mean, ACPI_HANDLE() and
other basic ACPI calls were non-GPL-protected.
Also, while I'm there, remove a tiny bit of redundancy that was missed
in the earlier commit, by having is_acpi_node() use the other two
routines, instead of checking fwnode directly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
