Thanks for your suggestion, I will use switch-case to handle it in
next version.

I checked the ACPI spec and code path of other events:

 - For the standard nodification, the possible return value:
	- ACPI_NOTIFY_BUS_CHECK: acpi_scan_bus_check() returns 0 or -ENODEV
	- ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_CHECK: acpi_scan_device_check() returns 0, -ENODEV or -EALREADY 
   So, standard notification needs only Success(0) or Non-specific failure(1)
 
 - For docker, currently the dock_notify() only returns 0 or -ENODEV.
	But, actually the handle_eject_request() may returns 0 or -EBUSY, but
	dock_notify() ignored it.
	If there have any machines that it has _OST for dock device, we should
	consider to return ACPI_OST_SC_DEVICE_BUSY to dock. Currently I didn't
	see benefit on this.

 - For additional notify handlers
	I only found acpi_pci_root_scan_dependent() that it always returns 0.

 - There have ACPI_OST_EC_OSPM_INSERTION(0x200) that OSPM didn't support
   It's definded in "Insertion Processing (Source Event: 0x200) Status Codes"
   in spec. It will use specific _OST event.

The event types are used by different acpi devices type. And, there have
the insertion event may shows in the future. I will use a switch-case to
handle the change in acpi_generic_hotplug_event().

Thanks a lot!
