ACPI: Try harder to resolve _ADR collisions for bridges
In theory, under a given ACPI namespace node there should be only one child device object with _ADR whose value matches a given bus address exactly. In practice, however, there are systems in which multiple child device objects under a given parent have _ADR matching exactly the same address. In those cases we use _STA to determine which of the multiple matching devices is enabled, since some systems are known to indicate which ACPI device object to associate with the given physical (usually PCI) device this way. Unfortunately, as it turns out, there are systems in which many device objects under the same parent have _ADR matching exactly the same bus address and none of them has _STA, in which case they all should be regarded as enabled according to the spec. Still, if those device objects are supposed to represent bridges (e.g. this is the case for device objects corresponding to PCIe ports), we can try harder and skip the ones that have no chi...
