acpi_driver_data just accesses a field of its argument. Is there a worry
that from one call to the next it could have a different value?

Perhaps it would be better to first test !device, then initialize fujitsu,
and then test the result of fujitsu? The acpi_driver_data, which might
someday do something more complicated, would only be called once.
