The lack of probe was because when i2c_acpi_add_device() called
acpi_bus_get_device() on the handle for the touchpad device (TPL1), it
was returning the acpi_device for something totally unrelated.

We checked that the original handle-to-device mapping was set up
correctly before that point, hence this looks like memory corruption,
and the problem went away as soon as we fixed the double free.

The debug messages in that log stop when the method execution
completes, so it may also be useful to share a part of an earlier log
where you can see the double freeing happen in a bit more detail. For
each of the 2 objects double-freed below we confirmed that the first
unreference is the one in acpi_ns_repair_HID and the second
unreference is the one removed in JP's patch.
