Well, actually, the struct device for the object passed to this
function should be there already, because otherwise it wouldn't make
sense to update the list.  So my comment above is not really
applicable to this particular device and the function could take a
struct acpi_device pointer argument.  Sorry for the confusion.

It takes a device object handle.

Anyway, as per the above, it can take a struct acpi_device pointer
argument in which case the "acpi_dev_" prefix should be fine.

The above said, the name is somewhat confusing overall IMV.

Something like acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() might be better.

So lets make it something like

void acpi_dev_clear_dependencies(struct acpi_device *supplier);
